Time 4h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 750-ml bottle fruity red wine (I like Tempranillo for this sangria)
2 cups apple cider
1 cup cranberry juice
3/4 cup brandy
1/2 cup Triple Sec
3 medium apples (cored and diced (I like a combo of red delicious or another red apple + pink lady apples))
3 5- inch cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon whole cloves
Ice (for serving)

Steps:

Add all ingredients except for ice to a large pitcher. Stir and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
Stir again before serving. To serve, fill glasses with ice. Spoon several pieces of fruit into the glass and fill the rest of the way with wine. Pluck out any cloves that float to the top (and/or warn your drinkers to keep an eye out for them and pick them out if they come across any!) Garnish with fresh peppermint leaves and cinnamon sticks for extra-festive flair.
