Pomegranate Red Wine Sangria

Fall is quickly arriving and hopefully bringing some cooler weather with it. Whether it stays hot or gets downright cold {either is equally possible in Texas}, this pomegranate red wine sangria recipe is perfect … and perfectly delicious!

To make this easy sangria recipe, you’ll need

1 1/2 cups red wine {I prefer a sweeter variety}

1/2 cup orange juice {pulp free}

1 tablespoon lemon juice, bottled or fresh squeezed

1/4 cup red or green grapes, halved

1/4 cup pomegranate seeds

1/2 red apple, cored, peeled and diced

1 star fruit

If you like your sangria a little sweeter, add brown sugar as desired.

In a small pitcher or carafe, combine the wine and the juices and stir gently to blend {the handle of a wooden spoon works well for stirring in a narrow-necked bottle or carafe}.

Gently add all of the prepared fruit …

… and serve, pouring over ice and adding a festive garnish such as a slice of star fruit or a few grapes on a skewer. You can also store in an airtight container in the refrigerator if the sangria’s ready before cocktail hour.
