Recipe: Holiday Sangria

Liven up your typical red table wine into a holiday sangria with seasonal ingredients such as cranberries, pears, apples, oranges, and cinnamon sticks!

INGREDIENTS:

Yield: 8 servings (5 fl oz per serving) – not including the optional seltzer water—which adds 0 calories

Ingredients:

·       1 bottle of red wine

·       1 cup of 100% orange juice

·       1 pear, chopped

·       1 apple, chopped

·       1 orange sliced

·       1 cup of fresh cranberries

·       2 cinnamon sticks

·       Optional: flavored seltzer water (cranberry, grapefruit, pear, etc.)

DIRECTIONS:

Directions:

In a pitcher, mix all the ingredients together (except the optional flavored seltzer water). Let sangria sit in the fridge at least 4 hours or overnight. The longer the mixture sits, the more the wine will absorb the flavors from the fruit! Pour sangria into glasses and top each glass with an optional ¼ cup of seltzer water.
