🍎🍊Who doesn’t love a delicious holiday sangria??!!! Sangria is one of the most popular party drinks with too many variations to drink in a lifetime! 🍷 For this red wine sangria, I use a Pinot Noir, which is dry and ideal for this recipe. I love the warm yummy flavors of cinnamon and cloves, and you can use whichever fruit is in season, but I mainly stick to apples and oranges. Add more simple syrup, if unlike me, you like it on the sweeter side 😉 Best served chilled, so refrigerate for at least 8 hours, for the flavors to come together, then top it with soda water. Trust me, your guests will love it! 👉 Follow me for more drink recipes you can make at home! #cocktailsathome #holidaysangria #redwinesangria #redwine #holidaypunch #newyearsdrink #newyearsdrinks #partypunch #drinkswithbih #sangriarecipe #kenyantiktokers #southafricantiktok #cocktailskenya #homemadesangria
