Red Wine, cherry juice, fruit liqueur, and plenty of fruit make this is a beautiful, rich and flavorful sangria.

Cherry Red Wine SangriaWhat does it mean if the first serving of fruit I’ve had in days is the boozy fruit from the bottom of the sangria pitcher? Ooof. These days between Christmas and New Year’s are a blur of leftover holiday treats, celebratory cocktails, and so much laziness. It’s the only time of year I really allow myself to unplug, relax and seriously indulge.

If you’re feeling inspired to throw together a festive New Year’s Eve cocktail, this Red Wine Cherry Sangria fits the bill perfectly. It’s easy, gorgeous and so darn delicious! Prefer a White Sangria, I’ve got ya covered!

Cherry Red Wine Sangria

Although New Year’s Eve typically calls for champagne, it’s also fun to switch things up! Along with your sparkling wine, serve this rich, fruity and aromatic Red Wine Sangria.

RED WINE SANGRIA

You only need a handful of ingredients for this sangria; here’s how to make it:

  • Red Wine: Use your favorite variety. Pinot Noir is my favorite red, and Sterling Vineyards makes my absolute favorite Pinot Noir. Use whatever you like. No need to break the bank here. Since you’re adding juice, fruit and liqueur, there’s no need to pull out your most expensive bottle of red.
  • Cherry Juice: Here’s where the cherry flavor comes from. I love the combination of sweet cherry juice with the red wine. It makes for such a smooth sangria! Make sure you get sweet cherry juice, not tart cherry juice. If you can’t find pure cherry juice, you can use a cherry juice blend.
  • Fruit: My favorite fruit combo for this sangria is: cherries (I use frozen), honeycrisp apples, oranges, and raspberries. Use whatever fruit looks and sounds good to you, just don’t forget the cherries – it is cherry sangria! Since cherries aren’t in season this time of year, I use frozen cherries and they work perfectly (bonus: they keep the sangria extra cold).
  • Liqueur: Orange or raspberry liqueur are my favorite choices for this sangria.

    Where do you buy the cherry juice? It’s hard to find sweet cherry juice. Is Ocean Spray Cherry juice ok? This sounds delicious!

      I buy it at the regular grocery store, and I’ve even seen it at Target. You might have to use a cherry juice blend/cocktail (meaning cherry juice mixed with other juices, often cranberry, apple or grape). Ocean Spray Cherry Juice should be just fine. Enjoy!

    I tried the Aperol Spritz. The drink is definitely for sipping with friends. I also like how refreshing it tasted. I’m sold on this Spritz.
