    💭 Expert Tips and Tricks

    • Allowing your Moscato Sangria time to sit in the fridge before serving helps the flavors develop and come together for a more complex and delicious beverage.
    • This recipe is great to double or triple and serve in even larger containers for picnics, barbecues, pool parties, and more!
    • Fresh mint is great for a fragrant and gorgeous garnish.

    📌 Make this tasty gin sangria and be the life of the party! Choose your favorite fruits to customize to your liking. You can even make a version with white grape juice instead of wine so the kids can get in on it!

    💡 Substitutions and Variations

    • Instead of lemon-lime soda, use ginger ale, sparkling water, or another kind of carbonated beverage to change up the flavors.
    • Fresh pineapple can be used instead of canned.
    • This citrus white sangria is extremely versatile; feel free to omit any of the fruits if you don't want to use them!
    • For some extra flavor and color, you can also add fruits like blackberries, raspberries, and peaches.
    • Leave out the gin for a drink that isn't quite as strong.

    🥫 Storage

    To store your Moscato Sangria, it's best to separate the fruit from the liquid. This will prevent the fruit from getting too soggy and falling apart. Keep your fruit in an airtight container in the fridge, and the liquid in an appropriate container.

    You can also turn your leftover Moscato Sangria into popsicles by pouring into popsicle molds and including the fruits you like!

    🍴 What To Serve With This Dish

    For even more summer recipes, serve your citrus sangria with a yummy Cilantro Lime Dip, with these refreshing Strawberry Lemonade Popsicles or a yummy Easy No-Churn Cherry Ice Cream, or sip while you munch on these unique and tasty Air Fryer Corn Ribs!

    • 1 cup strawberries (optional)
    • ¾ cup blueberries (optional)
    • 20 ounces pineapple chunks in juice (1 can)

    Instructions
     

    • Slice the fruit into thin slices. Cut some or all in half if you wish, for some smaller pieces.
      1 lemon, 1 lime, 1 orange, 1 cup strawberries
    • Place the fruit in a large bowl or pitcher. Add all the remaining ingredients except for the lemon-lime soda
      20 ounces pineapple chunks in juice, 750 milliliter moscato wine, ½ cup gin, ¾ cup blueberries
    • Place the bowl or pitcher in the refrigerator for at least an hour or until ready to serve. Make sure the lemon-lime soda is also in the refrigerator so it is cold when you add it.
    • Right before serving, add the chilled lemon-lime soda.
      4 cups lemon-lime soda

    Notes

    • Use fresh pineapple if you wish. I use the canned chunks because slicing a pineapple is a pain. 🙂
    • This recipe is extremely versatile. Skip any of the fruits you don't have and/or add other fruits that you like.
    • Omit the gin if desired.
    • Use fresh mint for a pretty and fragrant garnish.

      Just had some sangria last night at a baby shower and thought to myself "I need to learn how to make sangria!" PLUS I love that you have blackberries in it because we have a blackberry bush that is screaming "pick me" right now!
