Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 pomegranate
  • 1 apple, cored and sliced thin
  • 12 ounces seedless grapes
  • 750 milliliters red wine (syrah/shiraz works well) (1 bottle)
  • 2 cups pure 100% pomegranate juice
  • 1 cup grape juice
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 1/4 cup triple sec

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pour honey and ½ cup water into a small saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring constantly, till the honey is completely dissolved into the water. Do not boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool. This is your honey simple syrup.
  2. Meanwhile, seed the pomegranate. Discard the rind and pith. For instructions, click here.

  6. Pour the entire bottle of red wine into the pitcher.
  7. Add the pomegranate juice, grape juice, brandy, triple sec, and honey simple syrup to the pitcher. Stir gently with a long handled spoon to blend all the flavors together.
  8. Place pitcher into the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to blend. Stir again before serving.

Notes

  • You will also need: 2.2 liter pitcher (or larger), heavy wine glasses

  • Modifications: If you like your sangria less sweet and more on the tart side, you can leave out the triple sec and cut the honey in half (you can also omit the honey simple syrup - you'll have one less symbolic ingredient in the mix). For a sparkly sangria, add 2 cups of ginger ale to the mix and stir just prior to serving.
  • Modifications
  • Non-Alcoholic Mocktail Version: Substitute a bottle of red/purple grape juice for the wine and omit the brandy and triple sec. Use kosher grape juice if keeping kosher.
