Holiday Sangria

I make this for most of my neighborhood parties. I usually buy a red wine blend or some famous two-buck-chuck. All the fruit is in season late summer and fall, but with the spices and cinnamon, it’s a good Holiday drink as well.

What you need

  • 2 cups sliced strawberries
  • 2 cups apple juice
  • 2/3 cup Triple Sec
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 3 seedless oranges, cut into 16 wedges each
  • 2 bottles of fruity red wine
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges
  • 1 lime, cut into 8 wedges

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher, and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Cover and chill for 8 hours, or overnight.
Discard cloves and cinnamon sticks
Pour into a tall glass, fruit and all, and enjoy!
