Cranberry Sangria
I love sangria and I LOVE cranberry! I wish cranberry was showcased more year-round because I seriously can't get enough of it. Total fall/winter vibes! This Cranberry Sangria was so delicious. I'm constantly buying the stuff in the box - and this was like that, but way better! It was fruity, a little spicy, sweet, and strong. I made my husband a little go cup right before he went on the lawnmower and a little while later, he came back in to tell me how delicious and BOOZY it was! This was really simple to make, and it makes a couple servings. So, ditch that box of blah and just make it yourself at home. This is perfect for a Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas gathering too.
Ingredients
For the cranberry sangria:
- 1 - 750 ml Bottle Pinot Noir
- ¾ cup Brandy
- 1 cup 100% Cranberry Juice not juice cocktail
- ½ cup Sugar
- 1 Lemon sliced into rounds, deseeded
- 1 Orange sliced into rounds, deseeded
- 1 Granny Smith Apple thinly sliced
- 1 Pink Lady Apple thinly sliced
- 2 Cinnamon Sticks
For serving:
- Ice
- Boozy Fruit
- Cinnamon Sticks
Instructions
To make the cranberry sangria:
- In a large pitcher, add the wine, brandy, cranberry juice, and sugar, mixing thoroughly with a wooden spoon to combine.
- Toss the fresh fruit and 2 cinnamon sticks into the pitcher, mix it up, and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Allowing the sangria to chill in the fridge like this enhances the flavor SO much. The cinnamon sticks spice the liquid, the fruit absorbs the booze, and the flavors deepen dramatically.
To serve:
- Serve the chilled sangria over ice, adding some of that boozy fruit and a fresh cinnamon stick to each glass, if desired. Enjoy!
