A holiday twist on a classic, Christmas Cranberry Sangria brings a burst of fresh, seasonal flavor to any gathering. Sangria, originally a Spanish drink, is traditionally made by combining wine with fruit, juice and a bit of sweetness. The result is a lively, refreshing cocktail that is as pleasant to look at as it is to drink. Including Wisconsin cranberries This recipe turns classic sangria into a holiday-ready and enjoyable drink.
Wisconsin is one of the largest cranberry-producing regions in the world, known for its strong, flavorful berries that are perfect for both savory and sweet uses. Cranberries add a tart, crisp flavor that perfectly balances the richness of the red wine and the sweetness of the straightforward syrup. The natural tartness of the fruit shines in this drink, creating a convoluted flavor that is both refined and refreshing.
This sangria recipe combines Garnacha, a silky red wine with glowing berry flavors, with cranberry juice and a splash of Triple Sec, which adds a hint of orange. Adding fresh Wisconsin cranberries to the mix not only enhances the flavor, but also gives the drink a festive look with vivid red accents. In addition to orange and apple slices and a dash of aromatic cinnamon or rosemary, this drink is full of seasonal warmth.
Leaving the sangria out for a full day before serving allows the flavors to meld and penetrate deeply. The result is a drink that is luxurious, fruity and lightly spiced – perfect for cozy holiday celebrations or a little holiday cheer at any winter gathering. So let Wisconsin cranberries be the star of your holiday sangria this season!
