Tasty Sangrias

Pin It Cheers!!! You might be thinking sangria is only for the summer, but guess what, and I hate to say this, but you are wrong!  Especially since red wine is 'healthy' for you.  I mean don't go out and booze it up every night with 5 bottles of red wine.  Moderation is key people!  So with that being said, this tasty treat can be enjoyed any time of year.  I am now craving some sangria thanks to a friend of mine for asking me for a recipe.  I am putting up two different red wine sangrias, sorry, no white wine sangrias, it's just not as healthy! My wine choice is made by my in depth palate and sense of...how fun the name and label was!! 


This would be a perfectly romantic drink, so make it for your special someone or just yourself! Spread some love today!

Orange Sangria

1 bottle red wine

1/4c grandmarnier

1QT orange juice

3/4c  sugar

I like to use the frozen stuff in the summer as it will make the sangria a little more refreshing.  In the fall and winter you can use fresh.

Cranberry Sangria

1QT cranberry juice

1c honey

dried cranberries
