This sparkling wine sangria is a delightful and visually appealing drink that's perfect for Halloween parties. The combination of fruity flavors with the effervescence of the sparkling wine makes it a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle of sparkling white wine or prosecco, chilled
- 1/2 cup orange liqueur
- 1/4 cup brandy
- 2 cups orange juice
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- Assorted fresh fruit (e.g., orange slices, apple slices, black grapes, strawberries)
- Blackberries for garnish (optional)
- Ice cubes
Directions
In a large pitcher, combine the orange liqueur, brandy, orange juice, and simple syrup. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.
Add the assorted fresh fruit slices to the pitcher. You can use orange slices, apple slices, black grapes, and strawberries to create a colorful and festive mix.
Allow the fruit to macerate in the mixture for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavors. You can also refrigerate the pitcher to chill the mixture further.
Just before serving, add ice cubes to the pitcher to keep the sangria cold without diluting it too much.
Carefully pour the chilled sparkling wine or prosecco into the pitcher and gently stir to combine. Be gentle to preserve the bubbles.
Pour the Spooky Sparkling Sangria into individual glasses or wine flutes.
If desired, garnish each glass with a blackberry or other spooky decorations for added Halloween flair.
