Cranberry Sangria

EmmyDuckie's Note:

I made this up for a Thanksgiving Potluck last year. It was such a hit, I had to make a second bowl!

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 2 pints cranberry juice (100% juice is best)
• 2 pints orange juice
• 1 (750 ml) bottle red wine (I like Beaujolais, but any light fruity red wine will do.)
• 1 -2 orange, sliced (for garnish)

Directions:

1. Chill all ingredients.
2. Pour juices and wine into punch bowl.
3. Float orange slices on top.
4. Variations: You may adjust the proportions of juice to wine, depending on the strength and flavor profile of your particular wine.
5. This is also good with limes and lemons.
6. Ice cubes made of frozen juice are a nice addition, or you can freeze the citrus slices and use them to keep sangria cold.
7. This can be halved, doubled, tripled, etc. easily for any size group.

A very refreshing and different (in a good way) sangria. For some reason, never thought about using cranberries for sangria which is odd since I love them so much and try them in some unusual recipes. I thought the flavours blended nicely for a drink that went down smoothly. Will make again. Made for ZWT4.

I didn't do the whole recipe. I thought 2 pints of each juice would be too much for the quantity of wine. That's my preference. I prefer it more potent LOL So I did it in 2 glasses. Near 2 ounces of red wine (merlot) and 1 ounce of each juice. It was a nice taste. Not too sweet. Very refreshing. Thanks Emmy. Made for the Babes of ZWT4

I really liked this one. I made it with cranberry juice cocktail and some "chillable" red boxed wine. It was surprisingly good and is a keeper for us !
