This Pear, grapes and mango White Sangria is a light and refreshing take on the classic Spanish punch.

Instead of red wine, this version combines pear nectar, sparkling lemon flavoured water, and juicy fruits for a bright, elegant mocktail that captures the essence of sangria without the alcohol.

Now, presented as a colorful mocktail, it’s always a crowd favorite: fresh, cheerful, and irresistibly good and refreshing.

Ingredients You’ll Need for a Perfect White Sangria Mocktail

To make this pear sangria at home, gather these fresh and simple ingredients:

• 800 ml pear nectar or pure pear juice : use 100% natural juice for a delicate sweetness and authentic flavor.
• Juice of 1 freshly squeezed lemon : adds brightness and balance to the fruit.
• ½ cup fresh basil leaves : gives a subtle herbal twist that pairs perfectly with pears and citrus.
• ½ cup green grapes, halved : choose crisp, seedless grapes; you can even freeze some to chill the drink without watering it down.
• 1 pear, thinly sliced : select firm varieties like Conference or Comice so the slices keep their shape.
• 1 cup mango pieces : fresh or frozen, they bring a tropical, sunny note to the mix.
• 1 liter sparkling lemon water (or plain sparkling water) : adds fizz and freshness; adjust to taste.
• Ice cubes : large, clear cubes work best to keep your drink cold without diluting the flavor.
• A few lime slices : for garnish and a touch of color when serving.

Step-by-Step: How to Make White Pear Sangria Without Alcohol

1. Prepare the fruit: Slice the pear thinly, halve the grapes, and dice the mango if needed.
2. Mix the base: In a large jug, pour in the pear nectar and lemon juice. Add the fresh basil leaves and stir gently to release their aroma.
3. Add the fruit: Drop in the pear slices, grapes, and mango pieces. Let the flavors infuse for at least 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator.
4. Before serving: Pour in the sparkling lemon water, add ice cubes, and gently stir.
5. Garnish and enjoy: Serve in glasses with extra fruit slices and a few basil leaves for a refreshing finish.

Pro tip: Prepare the mocktail a few hours in advance and keep it chilled. Add the sparkling water and ice only right before serving to maintain the fizz.

How to Store Pear White Sangria

Making pear white sangria ahead of time is not only convenient but also helps the flavors blend beautifully. Here’s how to prepare and store it properly:

– Prepare it ahead: Make your sangria 4 to 12 hours before serving. This allows the pears and other fruits to infuse their flavors into the juice, creating a more aromatic, flavorful drink. Avoid preparing it more than 24 hours in advance to keep the fruit fresh.

– Store it properly: Pour the sangria into a large jug or pitcher, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. The fruit will naturally release some juice over time, which may slightly lighten the flavor — still delicious, just a bit more delicate.

– Add the bubbles last: If you’re using sparkling water or soda, wait until just before serving to add it. This keeps the drink bubbly and refreshingly crisp.

– Shelf life: Non-alcoholic sangria keeps well in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. After that, the fruit may soften too much and affect the texture and overall taste.

Customization Tips to Make It Your Own

You can easily adjust this mocktail to suit your taste or the season. Here are some ideas:

• For a tangier version: Add more lemon juice or swap the sparkling water for homemade lemonade. It adds extra zest and freshness.
• For a sweeter twist: Stir in a spoonful of vanilla syrup, honey, or agave nectar. It enhances the pear’s natural flavor and gives a smooth finish.
• For a “cocktail-style” mocktail: Serve in elegant glasses with extra sparkling water, a few basil leaves, and a lime wedge, perfect for special occasions.
• For kids: Replace sparkling water with sparkling apple juice or caffeine-free soda. Add colorful fruit pieces like raspberries or kiwi for a fun look.
• For pregnant guests: Stick with natural, unsweetened fruit juices and skip any fermented bases, all the flavor, zero alcohol.
• For a summer brunch: Make it ahead of time and chill overnight. Serve with frozen fruit cubes made from pear juice for a cooling twist.
