    This Christmas Sangria Recipe will be the star of any holiday party you're hosting this year!

    CHRISTMAS SANGRIA RECIPE THAT COMES TOGETHER IN MINUTES! | COCKTAILS | ALCOHOL | HOLIDAY

    Christmas sangria is a staple in my holiday traditions and I'm so excited for it to be a part of yours as well.

    Among all the hustle and bustle, the idea of spending a ton of time on a fancy cocktail is really the last thing I know you want to do. Especially if you're the one hosting. There's the main dish. The dessert. The salads. The appetizers. 

    Plus the decorations and the festive playlist! So much to do if you're hosting a fun holiday party.

    So don't let the cocktail portion of the night hang you up.

    This is definitely a Christmas Sangria that you can put together in just about 5 minutes. Then you'll put it away to chill for 4 hours - or overnight if you really planned ahead! 

    Let me tell you just how easy it is to make a Christmas Sangria

    1. In a large glass pitcher, combine wine, vodka, cranberries, pomegranates, orange slices, and ¼ cup agave (maple syrup or honey works too). Stir and taste for sweetness. If it's not sweet enough for your tastebuds, feel free to add more agave and stir again.
    2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
    3. Right before serving, top the pitcher off with sparkling water and a few sprigs of rosemary.
    4. To serve, feel free to rim a glass with agave and coconut sugar before pouring sangria.
    5. Add a slice of orange and a sprig of rosemary.

    Seriously so easy!

    Your guests will arrive and you can immediately put a glass of Christmas sangria in their hand and start mingling and jingling all the way!

    Hi, Holly! I’m so happy you’re here. Why don’t you pull up a chair and a mug of whatever goodness you’ve got. I’m most likely sippin’ on coffee or maybe a glass of wine, and I’m definitely in a pair of sweats and fuzzy socks. Always comfy. Always real.
