Whoever said sangrias were strictly for the summertime were seriously mistaken! This sangria recipe has a Christmas twist that anyone can get behind.
Check it out below!
INGREDIENTS:
2 Green Apples; Chopped
2 Cups of Fresh Cranberries
½ Cup of Granulated Sugar
1 Bunch of Rosemary
1 Bottle of Moscato
1 Bottle of Sparkling Apple Cider
DIRECTIONS:
Chop both green apples into small pieces. Add all but a few of the pieces of green apple to the bottom of your drink pitcher. You will use the other pieces for garnish.
Rinse the cranberries in a colander and immediately roll a handful into the sugar. Set aside the sugared cranberries to use for the garnish.
Add all cranberries except the sugared cranberries to the pitcher.
Use a muddler or wooden spoon to crush some of the fruit in the bottom of the pitcher. I crush just a few pieces of fruit, specifically the cranberries, to leave a nice flavor. I like to leave most of the fruit whole because it looks so lovely in the pitcher and in the glass.
Pour in the moscato and sparkling apple cider. Add rosemary to the top to garnish.
Wet the rim your champagne flutes with a little bit of water and roll in granulated sugar and fill with the Christmas Sangria.
