Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle (750 ml) dry red wine
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/2 cup brandy
- 1/4 cup orange liqueur
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 large apple, thinly sliced
- 1 orange, thinly sliced
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- Ice
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the red wine, apple cider, brandy, and orange liqueur. Stir gently.
- Add the sliced apple, sliced orange, cranberries, and cinnamon sticks to the pitcher.
- Stir the mixture once more to combine the fruit and liquids.
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- When ready to serve, stir the sangria again. Serve over ice in wine glasses. Garnish each glass with a few cranberries or a slice of the fruit.
Notes
- We suggest using a medium-bodied red wine like Merlot or Zinfandel for this recipe.
- For an extra festive touch, use frozen cranberries to help keep the sangria cold without over-diluting it.
- If you prefer a less boozy drink, you can reduce the brandy slightly.
