SANGRIA DRINK
This flavorful sangria is great for holiday feasts, parties or any occasion. A simple blend of fruit, spices and red wine will get those parties started!
INGREDIENT OPTIONS:
- Feel free to mix and match your favorite fruits in this sangria! You could use red/green pears, red apples, or blood oranges if you prefer.
- For a bit of effervescence, add a splash of sparkling water to the sangria right before serving.
- Don’t have orange liqueur on hand? Try swapping it for brandy or vodka.
- Your sangria will only be as good as the wine that you use so make sure to use something that you would be comfortable drinking on it’s own. I recommend a light, but not too fruity red wine.

Ingredients
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup hot water
- 1 bottle (750 mL) red wine (see notes)
- ½ cup orange liqueur

Instructions
- Add the honey and hot water to a large pitcher and stir until the honey has dissolved– about 30 seconds.
