Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Festive Touch
Serve the sangria in a clear pitcher or punch bowl so the beautiful fruit takes center stage.
Festive Touch
Like your sangria extra-cold? Fill 2 ice cube trays with distilled water. Cut 3 orange slices into 8 wedges each; add an orange wedge and several pomegranate seeds to each section of the tray. Place in freezer 1 to 2 hours or until frozen. Add ice cubes to glasses or punch bowl before serving.
