Christmas Sangria
Isn't it beautiful?? Sorry I didn't get a better picture. If you are looking for the simplest and most delicious tasting sangria, this is it! I've served this for a brunch and a cookie swap and gotten rave reviews. It's so simple and so delicious! Once you make this, it will be your go to drink. And it's so cute served in my mason jars with an added ribbon and sprig of evergreen. The adorable straws came from Target! Here's the super simple recipe:
1 bottle pinot grigio (or other white wine, not too dry)
1 bottle sparkling cranberry juice (25 oz)
apples ( I mixed red and green to be festive) - diced
cranberries - frozen
I cut up my red and green apples early in the day and poured one bottle of white wine over them to keep them from turning brown. When it was party time, I poured one bottle of sparking cranberry in with the wine, gave it a stir and it was ready to go. The container I used held 2 bottles of each, which I recommend starting with because it goes fast! I used frozen cranberries in each glass to keep the drink cold.
As an added touch, I froze some regular (non bubbly) cranberry juice with cranberries in the trays to keep the pitcher cold. It looked cute floating in there.
Viola! Simple and delicious. Now you can mark one thing off your list!
