It’s officially cocktail hour here in my little Salty Marshmallow world. I mean, it may only be Tuesday, but, it’s 6:00 in the eve and I’m ready for a big old glass of this wine filled goodness.
Yes, I’m sitting here with a glass of this as I post. Soooo, if there are typos, you know why. <<<< Totally kidding.
I’m a little obsessed with sangria.
There is actually a restaurant here in my hometown that makes the BEST, out of this world, blow your mind, sangria.
Their food is equally amazing….but, MAN that sangria. I dream of it.
Dan is like “hey, you want to go get some sang….” and I’m already out the door.
Some may call this irrational.
I call it happy hour.

How do you like your sangria? Red? White?
I can’t pick.
But, if I had to, it would be this red one here.
It’s EASY to make. It will take you all of 5 minutes to get this into the pitcher.
I love that this isn’t overly sweet. It’s an easy drinker.
What we’re working with here is:
Red wine of your choice, a few shots of brandy, some O.J. and cranberry juice.
Toss in some orange slices, fresh cranberries, and cinnamon.
It tastes like fall/winter.
It may be a cold beverage, but, it still warms your soul.
Enjoy this! Printable recipe for you below.
