So sweet, savory and tart… you’re going to absolutely love this easy and delicious Champagne Sangria!
Happy New Year fellow sangria lovers! I’ll be ready to get my new year started with this sangria. I’ve never had anything quite like it before… the flavor combinations are incredible. The secret is the rosemary simple syrup. It’s so easy to make and smells so good.
I probably went a little overboard with the photographs because I was so excited about how amazing this tastes.
Apples, cranberries and some clove-studded orange slices take this over the top! It’s a perfect sangria to serve this new years that’s guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.
I found that using a skewer makes studding orange slices much easier. Just poke the skewer in the slice, remove, and the cloves go right in afterwards.
No doubt… you’re going to impress your guests with this sangria.
Enjoy!
