CRANBERRY SANGRIA


Valentines Day is coming up, spice up the typical wine with cranberry juice and infusions of your favorite fruit! The beauty about sangria is that you can get creative and add pretty much any fruit or flavors you’d like. You don’t need an expensive wine and it so refreshing and appealing to the eye. Now, always try flavor combinations that go together and remember practice makes perfect.

Ingredients
 1 bottle dry red wine
1 cup cranberry juice cocktail
1 cup orange juice
½ cranberry liqueur
1 orange cubed
1 apple cube
1 pear cubed

Combine all ingredients in a pitcher throw in the fridge for at least 2 hours (the longer the better). Once ready to serve pour it in glasses with ice and if you want to spark it up add a little Sprite.

Suggestion: Sangria pairs up especially well with red meats, pork, sausages, and pasta. Also, include a little spoon to try the fruit in the glass. Enjoy!
