Christmas is getting closer and closer and I’m finding myself with more reasons to prepare something to take over to a dinner party or holiday festivity! I feel like Sangria is great because it’s super easy and pretty much a people pleaser for everyone! I mean I love bringing brussel sprouts but they aren’t always a winner like sangria LOL.

Directions: 
All you need to do for this recipe is add prepared fruits to the bottom of a pitcher, pour in bottle of red wine and juice, add cinnamon sticks and stir. Refrigerate for 8-12 hours before serving!

I went to Trader Joe’s and picked up the ingredients. I recommend leaving it in the fridge for 8 hours to let the cinnamon flavors marinate but you could serve immediately if you are pressed for time!

I made the mistake of added the wine to the pitcher first and then had to be very careful dropping in the fruit so it wouldn’t splash, but in hindsight I should’ve obviously added the fruit first then poured the wine and pomegranate juice over top. Duh Claire.

I’d love to know if you make this, and how you like it! DM me on Instagram if you do!!

Ingredients:
1 bottle of red wine (I love Cocobon from TJ’s but any red wine will work).
2 cups pomegranate juice
1 pomegranate – seeded*
1 orange sliced then halved
1 cup cranberries
2 cinnamon sticks

*Seeded pomegranates can be a little messy but if you seed them into a bowl of water it helps control the juices and the white flesh floats to the top whereas the arils (edible seeds) sink to the bottom.

Mix together and refrigerate. 

 

Enjoy!
