Prep Time 15 minutes mins

Ingredients

  

Sangria

• 1 750 mL Bottle Garnacha, or Spanish Red Wine
• 1/2 Cup Bitter Amaro
• 1 1/2 Cups Farm Fresh Apple Cider
• Juice from 1 Cara Cara Orange
• Slices from 1 Cara Cara Orange
• 1 Seasonal Fall Apple sliced
• 1 Cup Cranberries
• 1-2 Cinnamon Sticks

Honey Simple Syrup

• 1/4 Cup Honey
• 1/4 Cup Water

Instructions

 

• To make the honey simple syrup, add the honey and the water to a small saucepan and heat up on medium-low heat until the honey has "melted" into the water. When done, let cool slightly before adding to the sangria.
• In a large pitcher (or similarly large vessel), combine the Garnacha, Amaro, cooled honey simple syrup, and apple cider. 
• Squeeze in the juice from 1 Cara Cara orange, and add in the other orange slices, apple slices, cinnamon sticks, and cranberries.
  
• Mix well.
• For best results, let everything "sit" in the fridge for at least an hour. (This helps the flavors of the fruit infuse into the sangria!)
• When ready to serve, ladle into glasses and garnish with fresh orange slices.
• Enjoy!

Notes

I didn't put a serving size here because everybody enjoys their sangria in different quantities! But if I had to guess, this sangria will yield about 8-10 moderately-poured wine glasses.

P.S.
