Servings: 8
Equipment
- Long mixing spoon
Ingredients
- 1 bottle dry red wine
- 2 oz Grand Marnier
- 8 oz cranberry juice
- 8 oz pomegranate juice
- 6 oz cinnamon simple syrup
- 1 honeycrisp apple thinly sliced
- 1 orange thinly sliced
- 1 cup cranberries
- 1/2 cup pomegranate arils
- Cinnamon sticks for garnish
- Rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the red wine, cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, Grand Marnier, and cinnamon simple syrup. Mix thoroughly to blend all the flavors.
- Add the sliced honeycrisp apple, orange slices, fresh cranberries, and pomegranate arils. Stir gently to distribute the fruit evenly throughout the mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. For a deeper infusion, let it chill overnight.
- When ready to serve, pour the sangria into glasses over ice. Finish with a garnish of a cinnamon stick and a sprig of rosemary for a festive flourish.
Notes
Pro Tips
- Use a high-quality dry red wine like Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon for the best balance of flavor.
- If you prefer a sweeter sangria, add a splash of orange juice or extra cinnamon syrup.
- Freeze the cranberries beforehand to use as edible "ice cubes" that keep the sangria chilled without diluting it.
