This Pomegranate Sangria is bursting with fresh, seasonal fruit and is so easy to make. Perfect for holiday get-togethers!
Pomegranate Sangria
Sangria was my gateway to wine. While wine was sour and astringent, sangria was sweet and fruity and basically the grown-up grape juice of my dreams. Needless to say, I still love sangria, especially as a way of using up seasonal fruits! But just because summer is over doesn’t mean we have to stop enjoying our favorite fruity elixir. This Pomegranate Sangria recipe is filled with seasonal flavors, like citrus and cinnamon, making it the perfect drink to serve up at your next holiday get together.
To make this Pomegranate Sangria, you’ll add your orange and apple to a large pitcher and muddle them for 30 seconds or so to get the flavors moving (I like to use the end of a wooden spoon for this!) Then you add the juice, brandy, and brown sugar, and muddle once more. Then add in your wine, pomegranate seeds (learn how to deseed pomegranate), and cinnamon!
Let it chill for a few hours in the fridge to give the flavors some time to come together, then serve! In the mood for more fall cocktails? You may also like this Autumn Apple Sangria (basically apple pie in a wine glass) or this warm and cozy Blueberry Gluhwein.
To make this Pomegranate Sangria you’ll need:
- ½ of an orange, thinly sliced (peel on)
- ½ of an apple, thinly sliced (peel on)
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- ¼ cup brandy
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 bottle red wine
- 1 cup pomegranate arils
