This sangria mocktail is a refreshing drink that highlights the fruity flavors of traditional sangria without added sugars or alcohol. Fruit adds plenty of natural sweetness that’s bolstered by a combination of pomegranate and orange juice. Berry-flavored seltzer adds to the fruity taste, but plain seltzer will work well too.
