Ingredients
- 2 (750ml) bottles red wine
- 4 ounces triple sec
- 3 ounces brandy
- 2 ounces fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup simple syrup*
- 1 large Granny smith apple, cored and sliced
- 2 medium pears, cored and sliced
- 1½ cups fresh cranberries
- 1 pomegranate, seeds removed
- Cinnamon sticks, for garnish
- Rosemary sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large carafe or bottle add the wine, triple sec, brandy, lemon juice and simple syrup and stir to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 2 hours.
- Pour the sangria into glasses and garnish with apples, pears, cranberries, pomegranate seeds, cinnamon sticks and rosemary sprigs.
Notes
Mix the red wine, triple sec, brandy, lemon juice, and simple syrup at least two hours before serving so the flavors have time to meld. Wait to add the sliced apples, pears, cranberries, and pomegranate seeds until just before serving to keep the fruit fresh and prevent it from becoming soft. Chill the sangria thoroughly so you can serve it over ice without diluting it too quickly.
*Note: simple syrup can be easily made by bringing equal parts granulated sugar and water to a boil over medium heat until a syrupy consistency is reached.
