Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 medium orange
8 whole cloves
1 bottle sweet white wine, such as moscato or reisling
3 c cranberry juice
1 c fresh cranberries
1/4 c orange flavored liquor
2 medium cinnamon sticks
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract

4. Tip: If transporting to a party, prepare recipe without adding wine. Put the rest of the ingredients in a tightly closed beverage container. Adding wine to the container at the party.

Tips:

When selecting cranberries, choose firm, plump berries that are deep red in color. Avoid berries that are soft, bruised, or have any signs of mold.
To make the simple syrup, use equal parts sugar and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool completely before using.
For a more flavorful sangria, use a variety of citrus fruits. Oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit all work well.
If you don't have any fresh ginger on hand, you can use ground ginger instead. Just use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger for every 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger called for in the recipe.
Sangria can be made ahead of time and chilled for up to 24 hours. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
