Moscato Sangria
Description
The Moscato Sangria is a chilled, mixed drink that starts with a bottle of sweet, slightly effervescent Moscato wine. To this base, a blend of chilled passion fruit juice, pineapple juice, and white grape juice is added, creating a vibrant and fruity foundation. A splash of ginger ale adds carbonation and a subtle spice note.
Fresh fruits like tart apples, strawberries, kiwi, oranges, and peaches are sliced and incorporated to infuse the drink with natural flavors and texture. The sangria is served over ice, garnished with reserved fruit slices, providing a colorful and inviting presentation.
This recipe yields eight 8-ounce servings, making it suitable for small parties or casual entertaining. With a balance of smooth sweetness from the Moscato and brightness from the fruit juices, this sangria is a pleasant option for warm days or as a welcome drink.
Leftovers should be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to four days, with the fruit removed to prevent bitterness. For preparation ahead of time, combine juices and fruit but add ginger ale last to preserve fizz.

Notes
