1 orange, thinly sliced
1/2 cup raspberries
1 cup sparkling water or lemon-lime soda
Ice
Fresh mint or edible flowers (for garnish)

how to serve Spring Bunny Sangria

Serve the Spring Bunny Sangria in clear glasses to showcase the colorful fruits and bubbles. You can add extra slices of fruits or a few berries to each glass for a nice touch. It’s also great for a brunch, holiday picnic, or as a fun drink at a garden party. Just make sure to enjoy it while it’s cold!

how to store Spring Bunny Sangria

If you have leftover sangria, you can store it in the fridge for a day. However, the sparkling water or soda should be added just before serving to keep the drink fizzy. If you store sangria without the sparkling water, it can last for a couple of days in an airtight container. The fruits may lose some freshness over time, so the sooner you enjoy it, the better!

tips to make Spring Bunny Sangria

Chill your wine and ingredients beforehand to keep the sangria cold longer.
Feel free to mix in other fruits depending on what’s in season or your personal preference.
If you want a sweeter sangria, add a bit of sugar or simple syrup to taste.
For a fun twist, consider adding a splash of club soda or flavored sparkling water.
