Pomegranate Holiday Sangria

This Pomegranate Holiday Sangria is bursting with seasonal fruits and spices (and is so easy to make!)

Sangria was my gateway to wine. While wine was sour and astringent, sangria was sweet and fruity and basically the grown-up grape juice of my dreams. Needless to say, I still love sangria, especially as a way of using up seasonal fruits!

But just because summer is over doesn’t mean we have to stop enjoying our favorite fruity elixir. This Pomegranate Holiday Sangria recipe is filled with seasonal flavors like pomegranate and cinnamon, making it the perfect drink to serve up at your next holiday get together.
