To serve, fill glasses with ice and pour the sangria over the top. If desired, top off each glass with sparkling water or soda water for a little fizz.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• You can use any type of red wine you prefer, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Pinot Noir.
• If you prefer a sweeter sangria, you can increase the amount of honey or use a sweet red wine.
• You can substitute the pomegranate juice with another type of juice, such as orange or cranberry.
• To make the sangria ahead of time, you can prepare the fruit and mix the ingredients together, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• You can also add other fruits to the sangria, such as sliced strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries for extra flavor and color.
• For a non-alcoholic version, you can omit the red wine and brandy and use grape juice or cranberry juice instead.

RECIPE FAQ’S

CAN I MAKE THIS SANGRIA AHEAD OF TIME?

Prepare this spooky sangria up to 4 hours in advance. I recommend not making it the night before as the fruits will get mushy. Just add the ingredients to your pitcher, cover, and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

CAN I USE VODKA INSTEAD OF BRANDY?

Yes, sure! Most sangrias are made with brandy and red wine, but you can absolutely opt-in for vodka if you don’t prefer the taste of brandy.
