Ready for a non-alcoholic sangria recipe that’s perfect for celebrating any season? Go ahead and enjoy this summer in a glass. 

This green tea mocktail will help keep you hydrated while adding a little flavor to your day!

I don’t know about you, but I love sipping a refreshing mocktail. And this time of year, it’s so nice to slow down to a nice pace. What better way to enjoy the season than to drink a summery virgin cocktail? 

Whenever I entertain, I like to whip up a few signature recipes. I’m not the biggest drinker, so I created this green tea sangria recipe that’s suitable for kids and adults alike! You can easily stir up a batch of this easy sangria recipe for a crowd.

Ingredients

Green tea bags: This virgin sangria recipe is made with green tea, which will pump your body full of flavonoids that help keep your heart healthy. 

You’ll get the biggest benefit from taking in at least 400 milligrams of flavonoids daily, an amount you can get from drinking three to four cups of brewed tea. Isn’t that amazing?

While I made a green tea sangria, feel free to try different tea options. I had regular green tea on hand, but you could also use iced green tea in this recipe—or you could go the black tea route and use black unsweetened iced tea.

You’ll want to brew one iced tea bag in four cups of cold water.

FYI: Two servings of this tropical beverage counts as one cup of brewed tea. I love recipes like this sweet sangria that feature tea. You can also try my matcha green muffins.

Honey: If you’re vegan, you can substitute honey for agave syrup in this green tea mocktail.

Fruit juices: I used white grape juice and passion fruit juice to add natural sweetness to the mocktail, as well as some health-helping antioxidants. If you don’t have white grape juice on hand, apple juice would also work.

Oranges, key limes, kiwi, and pineapple: I used key limes, oranges, kiwi, and pineapple in this summer sangria recipe, but you can certainly play around with your own fruit add-ins. What’s a healthy mocktail without a whole bunch of good-for-you fruit?
