Cocktail Hour // Perfect Fall Sangria

Nov 5, 2013 ·

Jen-Pinkston-For-Mark-And-Graham-Sangria-1

I know it's Tuesday, but after a whirlwind week in NYC last week and a fun weekend visit from my best friend, I sort of feel like I am just getting caught up!  How were your  weekends?  I hope you all enjoyed last week's Cocktail Hour post with Mark and Graham, because we are back this week with another one!  This one is a major favorite too!  Hope on over to M & G for the full post and more of Melissa's beautiful photos...

Recipe

(makes 5 glasses)

  • 1 bottle of red wine (the fruit is going to add some sweetness, so opt for something a little more full-bodied)
  • 1-2 cups apple brandy
  • 4 oranges
  • 4 apples
  • ¼ cup pomegranate seeds
  • ½ cup 100% pomegranate juice
  • Whole cinnamon sticks (2 for the sangria, and 1 per glass that you plan on serving)
24 hours before serving, combine red wine, 1 cup of apple brandy, pomegranate juice, fruit, and 2 cinnamon sticks into a large carafe or serving container.  Cover and refrigerate for 12-24 hours. Sample before serving and add more brandy to taste.  Garnish glasses with an orange slice and a cinnamon stick.

Enjoy!  (And have an extra glass for me!)

    I made a very similar version of this but using Vinho Verde for a white sangria -- will definitely have to try this red version with the pomegranate!

      Yum, I love the idea of sparkling sangria! Did you still soak the fruit overnight? Was it still sparkling the next day?
