Melinda’s La Muerta Sangria (non-alcoholic)

Inspired by Día de los Muertos, this ruby mocktail honors the season’s ofrendas and marigold-bright celebrations. Fizzy sangria soda and jewel-toned pomegranate juice create a festive base, while a few reverent drops of Melinda’s Ghost Pepper Sauce add a gentle, warming “candlelight” heat. Topped with crisp soda water and a blood-orange wheel reminiscent of sugar-skull art, it’s a spirited tribute you can toast with—no alcohol required, just vibrant flavor and remembrance.
