Cranberry Pomegranate Sangria


We love the summer! Backyard pool parties and BBQ's, having friends and family over. Along with the usual party beverages, we always serve a fun new cocktail and pass the recipe along to our guests. Cranberry Pomegranate Sangria is a refreshing, fun and different refreshment we served last weekend.

Cranberry Pomegranate Sangria

1/4 cup Ocean Spray® Craisins® Original Sweetened Dried Cranberries
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup brandy
1 750-milliliter bottle dry red wine, chilled
3 cups Ocean Spray® Cran·Pomegranate™ Cranberry Pomegranate Juice Drink, chilled
1 cup orange juice, chilled
1 orange, thinly sliced
21⁄2 cups club soda, chilled
Combine sweetened dried cranberries, sugar and water in small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes or until sugar is dissolved and cranberries are plumped. Stir in brandy. Let cool.
Combine brandy mixture, wine, cranberry pomegranate juice drink and orange juice in large pitcher. Add orange slices. Mix well and chill. Stir in club soda just before serving.
Makes 10 servings.
