Tip #3 Try Our Recipe for Non-Alcoholic Cherry Sangria

Using a large pitcher, combine your favorite fruit juice with chunks of fresh fruit. We suggest white grape juice, orange juice, or cranberry juice with a splash of tart cherry juice.

Chop stone fruits (peaches, plums), apples, oranges, or pineapple. Add whole berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries), and grapes. Add fruit to juice and refrigerate for several hours.  

Add ice to tall glasses, pour fruity sangria and a splash of sparkling water over the top. Garnish with sliced lemon and Chukar Cocktail Cherries. Time to party!
