Sangria continues to be a popular go-to cocktail among consumers, especially for this time of year as seen in its steady boost in popularity and continued growth in sales (according to Market Watch Mag). However with high demand, of course, comes increased price points in both retail locations and in restaurants.
While this trend is expected to continue, I’ve listed a few DIY Sangria recipes for all of the economical winos, like myself, who are looking for warmth via sangria this winter, but without the hefty price tag.

Winter Sangria

1/2 Apple, sliced
1 orange, sliced
1/2 pear, sliced
Cinnamon Stick
1 bottle red wine
1/2 cup Brandy
1 cup Sparkling Ice Orange Mango
DIRECTIONS
Cut fruit into equal sizes and place in a pitcher with the cinnamon stick. Pour in the bottle of wine, bourbon, and Sparkling Ice Orange Mango over fruit. Gently stir to combine. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours, up to 2 days. Serve cold over ice.
I love all these 3 recipes. But, if you ask me which is my all time fav. I will have to say the Winter Sangria. Even though it has a little more ingredients, the fruity taste is soooooo spectacular. I love mango and the Sparking Ice Orange Mango bring this drink to the next level.
This post was made possible thanks to my friends at Sparking Ice and Santa Margherita Wines.

I love the idea of sangria for Valentine’s Day! We usually make it in the summer when more fruits are in season. I’ve never added cinnamon to it, but that would be a lovely winter twist!
