We are huge sangria lovers in our house. Huge! Huge, like I order it in every restaurant when I see it on the menu. Sometimes I’m disappointed though since I think I can usually make it better at home. And I can!
How to make Halloween Sangria:
The red wine you use can be a Syrah or a Rioja. Cheaper wine is just fine for making this recipe or any sangria recipe. I usually go medium-cheap.
Pour the red wine into a cool sangria container (I got this cylindrical glass container at my local HomeGoods store).
Add fruit- red apple, green apple, orange and cherries (frozen totally fine). Let this mixture chill-out in the fridge for several hours- or overnight if you’d like.
When you’re ready to serve to guests, add 2 cups of chilled club soda.
Then add three bottles of Mike’s Hard® Black Cherry Lemonade. Mike’s is the brand I use, but if there is another brand that has a similar flavor, it’s okay to use that brand for this recipe too.
If you want to add some (fake) blood to the sides of the serving container, just mix some corn syrup with a few drops of red food coloring. Spoon it along the edges of the container and let it drip down the sides. »SPOOKY!«
Ready to serve! I don’t like to serve my sangria over ice since it has so much of that fabulous fruit in there, but you can certainly offer ice to your guests in case they want it. This sangria tastes just like a Black Cherry- Red Wine Sangria. It’s perfectly RED for Halloween. Be sure to offer spoons to your guests because they’ll want to munch on that soaked fruit!
