 Cranberry Orange Sangria Recipe
This recipe is perfect for Thanksgiving, the holidays, or for celebrating anything having to do with Massachusetts or New England. Since it uses White Zinfandel, it's very light and fruity. Perfect for all types of adults!
Ingredients
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
3 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
3 lemon slices
4 cranberry herbal tea bags
1 bottle white Zinfandel wine
2 to 4 tablespoons brandy
1/2 pint fresh strawberries, washed and trimmed
1 orange (unpeeled), washed and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup club soda
In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, cloves, cinnamon stick and lemon. Simmer over medium heat, reduce heat to low. Simmer another 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
Add in the tea bags, and let sit for 5 minutes. Now remove solids with slotted spoon.
Refrigerate the tea mixture until cool. Put into a large serving container. Add in wine and brandy. Now add orange and strawberries. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Just before serving, add club soda.
Note: I created these sangria recipes and have had them online for years. If you find similar sangria recipes elsewhere, it's because someone copied my idea. I do appreciate it when visitors write in to warn me about the plagiarism - but usually there's not much I can do about it! What's really funny is when they copy my design right down to my sangria pitcher. That's a bit much :)
