Christmas Sangria

No holiday party is complete without a festive drink, and this wintry sangria is just what your guests need to stay holly and jolly. Plus, it can be prepared ahead of time so you can focus on getting the rest of the party set up—now that’s what we call a Christmas miracle!

Ingredients

• 1bottle (750 ml) red wine
• 2cups pomegranate or cranberry juice
• 1/2cup apple cider
• 1/2cup brandy
• 1/4cup honey
• Arils from 1 pomegranate
• 1cup cranberries
• 1green apple or green pear, chopped

Steps

Prevent your screen from going dark while you cook.

• Add fresh fruit to a large pitcher. Combine all the remaining ingredients separately, then add to fresh fruit and stir to combine.
• Refrigerate until cold. The longer the sangria sits, the more flavorful it will be. Prepare the sangria ahead of time if possible, up to a full day before serving.
