HOW DO YOU MAKE WHITE CHRISTMAS SANGRIA?
You just have to mix together your fruits and berries, wine and juice, and that’s basically it. There’s just a one simple secret to make sangria as good as it should be – let it chill! You can also put everything together and drink it right away, but, I must say, it will be better when it’s chilled properly. Also, no need to buy expensive and fancy wines, just use the one you usually prefer. The drink is light and sweet enough, so you won’t need any specific sweeteners.
INGREDIENTS NOTES
Sparkling White Grape Juice – or sparkling white cranberry juice. If you can’t find sparkling ones, you can easily go with a non-sparkling juice.
Pear Brandy – it really goes well with all the other flavors, don’t skip this one!
White Wine – just use the one you prefer. No need for fancy ones.
Winter Fruit – such as cranberries, apples, oranges. You’ll also need a bit more of apples to make cutted stars.
Rosemary Sprigs
Cinnamon Sticks, Anise
Sparkling Water or Club Soda – to top the cocktail off with some extra sparkling bubbles.
HOW TO MAKE HOLIDAY SANGRIA
- Use a small star cutter to make stars from the apples. Cut the sides of the apple and using the smallest star cutter, cut out star shapes. Slice up oranges.
- Add all ingredients together, stir them well.
- Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or more.
- Serve the chilled sangria in the prepared glasses, making sure to get some fruit, rosemary sprigs and cinnamon sticks in each glass.
- Top it off with sparkling water or club soda for extra bubbles.
RECIPE FAQ’S
HOW LONG WILL SANGRIA LAST IN THE REFRIGERATOR?
Plan to drink it within 1-3 days, as the fruit can go bad before the wine and juice.
CAN I USE ANY OTHER FRUITS?
Absolutely! You can use any fruits and berries you like, raspberries, pears, apples, as you prefer! It’s super easy to customize, you can also experiment with other brandy flavors or use Prosecco for extra bubbles.
