“Wicked Spooky Sangria”

What you’ll need:

  • 1 cup of whole black grapes
  • 1 cup of whole green grapes
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 lime
  • 2 oranges
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • colored sugar
  • 1 12oz can of Ginger Ale
  • ¼ cup of Brandy
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) Wicked Pinot Noir

Putting it together:

  1. First you can start by de-stemming and rinsing off the grapes. Place them on a baking sheet and put it in the freezer at least 2 hours before serving. These will keep the sangria cold without watering it down, but also look like eyeballs for the spooky theme.
  1. Slice 1 lime, 1 lemon, and 1 orange into rounds (leave the 2nd orange for serving). Put the fruit slices into a large glass pitcher, add ¼ cup of brandy and 1 cinnamon stick; gently stir. Slowly pour the bottle of Wicked Pinot Noir into the pitcher. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, longer chill time will increase the flavor.
  1. Come time to serve, add the can of ginger ale into the pitcher and stir. Rub an orange slice around the rim of a glass, put some colored sugar on a plate then dip the rim. Fill glasses with reserved orange slices and frozen grapes (or “eyeballs”). Finally, pour in the sangria and enjoy!
