Holiday Spiced Sangria



This is a fun drink that I love to make this time of year. It is delicious served hot or cold and super easy to make. With wine being full of anitoxidants and oranges packed with vitamin C you can actual feel good about this cocktail as long as you drink in moderation! Cheers!

Ingredients

1 bottle of your favorite red wine
5 cinnamon sticks
1 tbs whole cloves
1 tbs whole allspice
2 oranges

In a pitcher pour in bottle of wine and add cinnamon sticks. Cut the oranges into quarters. Squeeze two of the quarters into the wine and discard. With the remaining orange quarters stick about 5 or 6 cloves in the peel of each one and place into the pitcher. Using a cheese cloth make a sachet for the whole cloves and place into the pitcher as well. Put the pitcher into the refrigerator for at least two hours. When it is ready to serve remove allspice and heat if desired.

yields 4 servings
