Number Of Ingredients 8

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

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.
