A tasty sangria that is always a crowd pleaser. Whether a Holiday party or watching the big game, this sangria is truly the Ultimate Festive Winter Sangria! I make double the batch because its a crowd pleaser. Pinot Noir flavored with pomegranate juice and pomegranate seltzer plus fruit - super delish!
Combine in a large pitcher or punch bowl red wine, triple sec, pomegranate juice, simple syrup, orange slices, apple slices, and pomegranate arils. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, Can keep refrigerated overnight and up to 48 hours.
When ready to serve, half fill to ¾ fill ice-filled glasses with sangria. Top with the pomegranate seltzer. Adjust liquids according to how much sangria/club soda mix you prefer. Make sure to get some fruit in each glass! Adding a sprig of rosemary to garnish is always pretty
Simple Syrup
Over medium heat, in a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat and stir to melt sugar completely. Remove from heat and let cool.
Notes
I use a mandolin on ⅛ inch to slice the fruit.
If you cannot locate pomegranate seltzer, use either plain or another flavored seltzer.
