Most people absolutely love spooky season! If it is or isn’t for you there is no excuse not to enjoy a great themed Sangria for your Halloween [party]!
A good Halloween celebration is loved by many, and what is a Halloween party without a cauldron of delicious fun? When fall springs to mind we think of comforting, cozy flavours like cloves, cinnamon, apples, rosemary and blood orange.
With fall comes sangria. It is versatile and we can use white wine or red, traditionally I like to use a Spanish red since Sangria is a Spanish drink! Our Sangre de Toro is an excellent choice for sangria, whether you are making a white or a red version. If you wanted to try something different, Juan Gil Arindo Verdjo is a gorgeous white wine with notes of tropical fruit which meld with all the fruits used in sangria. Our alternative red would be Torres Altos Ibericos Crianza which brings beautiful cherry, raspberry and vanilla notes to a great Sangria.
I wanted to share my personal tried and true recipe with you!
