How To Make Holiday Sangria?

1. Make Simple Syrup: Heat 240ml water and 200g sugar in a pan until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add 2 cinnamon sticks. Let cool.
2. Infuse Cranberries: Place cranberries in a bowl with the cooled syrup. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to 24 hours.
3. Strain Syrup: After infusing, strain the syrup, discarding cranberries and cinnamon sticks.
4. Mix Sangria: In a large container, combine the wine, liqueur, and sliced apple, pear, orange, and tangerine. Add the cranberry syrup to taste.
5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
6. Serve: Garnish with the reserved fruit slices and serve chilled.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Good Quality Wine: The flavor of your sangria depends on the wine, so choose a fruity red wine you enjoy drinking.
• Chill for Longer: Let the sangria chill for at least 4 hours, but overnight gives the best flavor.
• Adjust Sweetness: Taste and add more cranberry-cinnamon syrup if you like your sangria sweeter.
• Use Fresh Fruit: Fresh fruit slices add a better taste and vibrant color than canned or frozen.
• Serve Cold: Sangria is best served ice-cold, so make sure it’s well-chilled before serving.
