How to Make Cranberry Sangria

  1. Chill the white wine, cranberry juice, orange juice, and brandy for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  2. In a large punch bowl or pitcher, combine 4 cups of chilled cranberry juice, 2 cups of chilled orange juice, 1 (750ml) bottle of chilled white wine (such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc), and 1/2 cup of brandy.
  3. Gently stir to combine.
  4. Add 1 cup of orange slices and 1/2 cup of cranberries.
  5. Float additional orange slices on top for garnish.
  6. For a colder sangria, add ice cubes made of frozen cranberry juice or freeze the orange slices ahead of time and use them to chill the drink while avoiding dilution.
  7. Adjust the proportion of juice to wine to your preference. For a stronger sangria, use less juice and more wine.
  8. To make a smaller or larger batch, simply multiply or divide the ingredient quantities accordingly.
