In a punch bowl add the cranberry juice, orange juice, and lemon-lime soda. Stir gently to mix.
Add the orange slices, chopped apple, strawberries, and cranberries to the pitcher. Stir again to combine. Add fresh basil leaves for an herbal touch.
Allow the sangria to sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. While it’s ready to drink immediately, letting it sit enhances the taste.
When ready to serve, add ice to individual glasses or to the punch bowl. Pour the sangria over the ice and enjoy!
Notes
Pro Tips
For a stronger basil flavor, gently bruise the basil leaves before adding them to the pitcher.
Use frozen cranberries for a chilled twist that keeps the sangria cool.
Add a few extra basil leaves and a strawberry or orange slice as garnish for each glass to enhance presentation.
