Ingredients
- 750 ml Red wine or red wine blend
- 1 cup orange liqueur
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- 1 cup tart cherry juice
- 1 cup pitted dark cherries frozen or fresh
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- Optional: dry ice for serving
Instructions
- Mix together pitted cherries, pomegranate seeds and orange liqueur in a large mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
- In a glass carafe or serving pitcher, stir together the wine, pomegranate juice and tart cherry juice.
- Add the fruit and liqueur mixture into the carafe and stir. Place back into the refrigerator (covered) and let sit overnight.
- Serve over ice individual glasses, in a large punch bowl or with spooky dry ice!
Notes
The fruit begins to decompose, especially the soft fruit, after about 3 days. Rancid fruit will turn the sangria bitter and unpleasant.
If you’ve still got quite a bit on hand after three days, I suggest removing the fruit by straining. The remaining sangria should last for up to a week. Toss if the wine has turned a brownish color, if the smell is off or if you detect astringent, chemical flavors.
