Ole! I remember the first time I had a glass of Sangria. It was fruity and bitter and sweet and kinda perfect.

As I got older (and more into what kind of alcohol I liked), I absolutely loved to purchase the sangria you could buy in a carton (shout out to adult premium beverages in tetrapacks — because if you’re gonna drink, you might as well be environmentally friendly about it!) and just stick a straw in it.

Easy, breezy, beautifully buzzed.

My go-to for ready-made sangria was always Don Simon — which is basically red wine and fizzy citrus soda.

So, now that I no longer drink alcohol, I have to get creative in the ‘mocktail’ category.

So, one day I started thinking about the ready-made Sangria and what it actually tasted like — despite the alcohol and a lightbulb went off in my head.

I always have ideas but, like 25% or less of them ever work out in my favour — let’s be real.

Here is my go-to, quick mock sangria (done two ways)

If you’re making this for a party — or you really wanna go crazy with things:

• 1 Teaspoon balsamic vinegar

If you’re just making one glass for yourself (you’ll probably make at least two, though):

• 10 ounces (approx. 300 ml) Fanta Orange (or zero)
• 1 A serving of Robinsons Squash’d Apple and Blackcurrant
• Two slices of an orange
• Two slices of a lime
• 1/8 tsp of balsamic vinegar
