Looking for a delicious way to kick off your holiday festivities? Try this Fall Spiced Sangria recipe, and whip up a batch that's sure to be a hit at any autumn gathering.
1: Make your Reduction
Add cranberries, sugar, and water to a small sauce pot, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer and cook for about five minutes, or until the cranberries begin to pop open and soften. Using a spoon, smash the cranberries, give the mixture a stir, and set it aside to cool.
2: Juice Oranges
As the reduction cools, juice 2-3 blood oranges and slice three more.
3: Fill Up Your Pitcher
Spoon the cranberry reduction into the bottom of a large pitcher. Next, add the orange slices, cranberries, cinnamon sticks, and rosemary. Finally, pour the blood orange juice, wine, ginger beer, and brandy on top.
Stir to combine.
4: Refrigerate
Store in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. For best results, your sangria should sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours to soak up the flavors.
