Sweet & spicy red wine sangria (aka sangria de noche buena)
Alcoholic beverages

This sangria evolved from a Carlo Rossi inspired recipe a dear friend shared with me a few months ago. We added the cardamom and cranberry as well as decreased the sugar and eliminated the seltzer. My recipe combines a fruity red wine spiced with the holiday flavor of cloves, the sweet spiciness of cinnamon and the pine-minty flavor of cardamom, while a dash of sugar, cranberry and orange juice take off the bitter edge. This is a incredibly drinkable and affordable Christmas Eve punch (or anytime), especially since a jug of Carlo Rossi, Paisano, my fruity red of choice, is approximately five 750 ml. bottles of wine and costs less than $20. P.S. I don't work for Carlo, I'm just a devoted fan!
