Non-Alcoholic Fall Sangria
The Best Non-Alcoholic Fall Sangria
The first official day of Fall is right around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with a cozy, seasonal batch mocktail? My Non-Alcoholic Fall Sangria is crisp, refreshing, and full of all the flavors that remind us of Fall. Apple cider, citrus, warm cinnamon, and a splash of maple for sweetness. It’s literally Fall in a glass.
This is one of my most popular recipes, and for good reason! It’s super easy to make, looks beautiful served in a big pitcher, and is perfect for sharing with friends at a dinner party, girls’ night in, or even just a cozy evening at home. The best part? Everyone can enjoy it, no matter if they’re drinking alcohol or not.
This recipe is such a crowd-pleaser! Whether you’re toasting to the first day of Fall, hosting a gathering, or just want a seasonal sip at home, this non-alcoholic sangria will be your new go-to.

• slices of oranges
• cinnamon sticks

How to Make Non-Alcoholic Sangria
You don’t need any fancy equipment to pull this off! Just a pitcher, a spoon for stirring, and some cute wine glasses (my personal favorite way to serve mocktails).
Start with your favorite non-alcoholic white wine as the base (HERE are some of my favorites). I love using something light, crisp, and not overly sweet, so it balances with the apple cider and fruit. Then mix in apple cider (or apple juice), a touch of maple syrup, and all the cozy garnishes: apple slices, orange slices, and cinnamon sticks.
Give everything a good stir and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to really meld together and makes it taste even better. When you’re ready to serve, pour into wine glasses, add a fresh slice of fruit, and sprinkle a little cinnamon on top. Cheers!

"But isn't there still alcohol in these?"
Non-alcoholic wine is defined as wine that contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV). For
comparison, this is a trace amount of alcohol, similar to what you’d find in some kombuchas or even certain fruit juices due to natural fermentation. It's made by creating traditional wine and then removing the alcohol, so you still get the complex flavors, aromas, and experience of wine, just without the intoxicating effects.
The labeling of non-alcoholic wine as "<0.5% ABV" is required because even though the alcohol is almost entirely removed during production, it's nearly impossible to eliminate every single trace of alcohol. A tiny amount may remain due to the fermentation process, which is a natural part of making wine.
Regulatory agencies, like the FDA in the U.S., require this disclaimer to ensure transparency and inform consumers who may want or need to avoid alcohol completely. This threshold (<0.5%) is considered so minimal that it doesn't produce intoxicating effects, making it safe for most people, including those who are sober or avoiding alcohol.
Some NA wines on the market are completely 0.0%, too!
NOTE: Please consult your health care provider if you have questions on consuming non-alcoholic wine that has less than .5% alcohol. This is NOT health advice.
