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.

RED SANGRIA RECIPE
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup hot water
- 1 bottle 750 mL red wine (see notes)
- ½ cup orange liqueur
- 1 orange sliced
- 1 green apple diced
- 1 cup cranberries
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 3 whole star anise
- Rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Add the honey and hot water to a large pitcher and stir until the honey has dissolved– about 30 seconds.
- Next add the red wine, orange liqueur, sliced orange, green apple, cranberries, cinnamon sticks, and star anise. Stir to combine.
- Cover the sangria and allow it to sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- To serve, pour the sangria into your desired glass and garnish with sliced fresh orange or green apple and a sprig of rosemary.
- Storage: Sangria can be made up to 24 hours in advance. If storing the sangria after 24 hours, remove the fruit with a slotted spoon as it can make the sangria bitter if it sits too long.
