Crowd Pleasing Christmas Sangria!
This raspberry, cranberry and apple Christmas Sangria is the easiest cocktail to make for a big crowd, you just dump everything in and forget about it. I’ve made several popular Sangria recipes this past year, but this one is very different.
This simple Christmas sangria is made with white wine and Chambord, one of my favorite raspberry liqueurs. Not only is it a mix of sweet and tart, but it looks very fancy! It makes a wonderful drink for any holiday party.

Christmas Sangria is a great crowd pleaser and perfect for any kind of party from New Year’s Eve all the way to summer and beyond. Even though it’s called Christmas Sangria, you can certainly make it anytime of the year!
How to Make Christmas Sangria
Fill a pitcher with a half a cup each of raspberries, cubed granny smith apples and whole cranberries.
Now pour your favorite type of white wine over the fruit. I used Pinot Grigio because it’s a sweet white wine and will balance out the tartness of the cranberries, apples and raspberries.
Add a fourth of a cup of raspberry liqueur such as Chambord and one half cup of cran-raspberry juice. Stir it all together and refrigerate your sangria for several hours or overnight before serving.
After a few hours and the fruit juices have soaked into your sangria, do a taste test. If your fruit is extra sour, your sangria might be too tart. If so, add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar depending on how tart it tastes. Be sure to only put a little sugar in at a time, you don’t want it to end up too sweet.
I like my sangria to have some fizz, if you do as well, add a cup of lemon-lime soda to your pitcher right before serving. This will also cut any tartness and make your sangria a little more sweet without having to add sugar.
