Ingredients

  • 1 bottle red wine (I used a bottle of pinot noir)
  • 2 cups cranberry juice (I prefer using diet)
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup triple sec
  • 1/2 cup vodka
  • 1/4 cup Honey or Simple Syrup
  • 1 cup Fresh Cranberries
  • 1 Orange (halved and thinly sliced)
  • 1 Lime (halved and thinly sliced)
  • 1 Pear (halved and thinly sliced)
  • 2 sticks Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients into a large pitcher and stir well.

  2. Allow for sangria to chill for at least 4 hours. Can also chill overnight.

  3. Make sure to stir before serving.

  4. You can use a slotted spoon or a pair of tongs to help extract fruit for each glass and garnish with a cinnamon stick for a prettier presentation. If not properly chilled, you can add ice.
