Total Time4 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle of red wine 750 ml
  • 1 cup cranberry juice
  • ½ cup orange liqueur Triple Sec or Cointreau
  • ¼ cup brandy
  • 2 apples sliced
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 2-3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey adjust to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pitcher, combine red wine, cranberry juice, orange liqueur, and brandy. Stir gently.
  • Add sliced apples, fresh cranberries, and rosemary sprigs to the pitcher. Stir gently.
  • Drizzle in honey to sweeten to taste, and stir once more.
  • Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.
  • Serve in wine glasses with ice, including some fruit slices from the pitcher.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are chilled before mixing.
  • Use fresh rosemary for the best aroma; dried rosemary can be used sparingly as an alternative.
  • Taste before serving and adjust sweetness with honey if needed.
  • Feel free to experiment with other fruits like oranges or pomegranate seeds.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days, and the sangria's flavor improves with time.
