How to make sangria with mineral water
Sangria is a refreshing and popular Spanish drink typically made with red wine, fresh fruit, and a sweetener. Though different ingredients can be used to make sangria, often times a carbonated or sparkling water is used instead of still water to give the drink a bit more fizz. If you’re looking to add a bit of sparkle to your next pitcher of sangria, read on for tips on how to make sangria with mineral water.
There are a few things to keep in mind when making sangria with mineral water. First, because mineral water is naturally carbonated, you’ll want to use a wine that isn’t too sweet. Otherwise, the sweetness of the wine will be amplified by the carbonation and the drink can become too sweet. Second, you’ll want to use a fruit that is high in acidity. This will help to offset the sweetness of the wine and provide a more balanced drink. Lastly, because mineral water can have a strong flavor, you may want to use a milder flavored juice or syrup as a sweetener.
Now that you know what to keep in mind when making sangria with mineral water, here’s a basic recipe to get you started.

– 1 bottle red wine
