Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 750 ml dry Sauvignon Blanc white wine or Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio
  • 1/3 cup orange liqueur Cointreau or Triple Sec
  • 1/2 cup white cranberry juice
  • 1 red apple cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 3 cinnamon sticks optional; more for garnish
  • 1 tsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda for flavor and fizz
  • 6 rosemary sprigs optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Into a large pitcher, place the cubed red apple, fresh cranberries, and cinnamon sticks.
  2. Pour in the Sauvignon Blanc, orange liqueur, white cranberry juice, and lime juice.
  3. Stir well, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 4 hours to let the flavors meld.
  4. Just before serving, add the lemon-lime soda and stir; adding it earlier will cause the soda to go flat.
  5. Pour the sangria into glasses. Garnish with the fruit from the pitcher, cinnamon sticks, and rosemary sprigs, if desired.
