Instructions

  1. Place all the ingredients, except the sparkling water or ginger ale, in a large pitcher and stir to combine.
  2. Refrigerate sangria for 3 to 4 hours, up to overnight, before serving.
  3. When ready to serve, give the sangria one last stir and pour in a glass with or without ice.
  4. Top with sparkling water or ginger ale for some bubbles, if desired. Garnish with fresh cranberries and rosemary sprigs for a festive look!

Notes

  • Apple brandy - I used Laird's Applejack but if you can't find any you can replace it with regular brandy, apple cider, pear brandy, or Grand Marnier.
  • Red wine - No need to splurge here! An inexpensive dry red Spanish wine, like Garnacha, Tempranillo, or just a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Merlot is all you need.
  • Just remember this when making sangria: the longer it sits, the better it tastes!
