Easy holiday sangria. Delicious, festive, and quick to make.
Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Brandy
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1 cup Pomegranate Arils
  • 1 cup Cranberries
  • 1 Green Apple or Pear (chopped)
Instructions
Add fresh fruit to a large pitcher. Combine all the remaining ingredients separately, then add to fresh fruit and stir to combine. Refrigerate until cold. The longer the sangria sits, the more flavor it will have, so I recommend making it the night before (or even a full day ahead)
