Winter Sangria

Allyson Reedy for Gibbs Smith Books - Alpine Cocktails
Sangria isn’t just for summer sipping. This winter version—bursting with cozy cinnamon, apple, and brandy flavors—is perfect for even the coldest days. Even better? It tastes more fantastic the next day, after the fruit and wine have melded together.
