Benihana Sparkling Strawberry Sangria — Price, Calories & Recipe (2026)
Benihana Sparkling Strawberry Sangria — price, calories, ingredients and a fizzy copycat recipe.
What Is Sparkling Strawberry Sangria?
The Sparkling Strawberry Sangria adds celebration-ready bubbles to Benihana’s sangria lineup. Fresh strawberries macerate in sake and strawberry liqueur, then get topped with sparkling wine for a pink, effervescent cocktail that looks as festive as it tastes. It is a favorite for birthdays and anniversary dinners at the hibachi grill.
At roughly $12.50, it costs the same as its still sangria siblings. The bubbles and berry sweetness cut through rich hibachi flavors like filet mignon and fried rice, making it a surprisingly good dinner companion rather than just a dessert drink.
