Pomegranate Sangria

Sangria isn’t just for the warm summer months. Mix up with winter pomegranate sangria and it may be your new favorite holiday beverage.

Another pomegranate alcoholic beverage? Another sangria? Why yes! Not to down play the Red White and Blue Sangria or Fruity Sangria I have previously shared but this pomegranate sangria is my favorite so far.

Maybe I am partial to pomegranate, maybe it’s the seasonally delicious citrus fruits, or maybe you need to stop asking questions and stir this up for your holiday party tomorrow. Serve it garnished with more fruit and topped off with some bubbly for some extra festive flair.
