Easy and delicious Christmas Sangria. Make this with or without alcohol. A festive drink for the holidays!
INGREDIENTS:
1 orange sliced in thin rounds or wedges
1 apple sliced in thin rounds or cut in small cubes
1 pear sliced thin or cut in small cubes
1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
5 cups cranberry juice cocktail
2 cups orange juice (pulp free)
2-3 cups cran-apple sparkling cider or flavored sparkling water
fresh mint or rosemary for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS:
Add the prepared fruit along with cranberry and orange juice to a large pitcher. Stir and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Pour in sparkling cider or water and stir. Top with fresh mint or rosemary and serve right away.
Tips:
Set out wine and champagne for those that want to add a splash to their Christmas Sangria.
Serve sangria in a clear tall pitcher so everyone can see all the fruit and colors.
Set up a designated drink area and let everyone serve themselves. Have extra fruit slices, cranberries, and herbs, to add to individual glasses.
For a less sweet sangria, use a flavored sparkling water like lemon lime or other flavors you might like.
