Instructions
- Make cranberry orange syrup: add orange juice, brown sugar, cinnamon stick, star anise, cardamom pods, cloves, and 1/2 cup of fresh cranberries into a small pot. Using a sharp knife peel 1 orange and cut the peel into strips. Lay the zest strips on a cutting board orange side-down and cut off the white pith (discard it). Add the orange zest and the juice from the peeled orange into the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until all the cranberries have burst. Strain the syrup and add to a large pitcher. Reserve the cinnamon stick and also add it to the pitcher. You can discard the cranberries, orange zest, and spices.
- Add wine, brandy, Cointreau, and cranberry juice to the pitcher.
- Add 1 orange cut into cubes. Stir with a spoon and taste the drink. Add some lemon juice if it's too sweet (I added 1 teaspoon). Add the remaining cranberries (1/2 cup) just before serving or for up to 2 hours (if left for longer in the drink, they can make it bitter).
- Let chill for at least 2 hours in the fridge then enjoy!
Notes
- Chill the sangria for at least 30 minutes but preferably overnight.
- You can store sangria without fruit for up to 2 days in the fridge.
