Autumn Sangria
PUBLISHED ON: 11.16.2012
Introducing the party punch of Spain, Portugal, Mexico and Argentina.
Serve up a homemade sangria that reflects the autumn season with pears, apples, oranges and a hint cinnamon. Be generous with the fruit it makes a difference. With that said, be generous with the Cointreau, or triple sec it makes a difference too.
A definite crowd pleaser!

That looks like a pitcher full of fun! I can do a lot of damage to some sangria:)Love how the fruit has soaked up all the red wine.
