Cherry Sage Sangria

Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups cherries, pitted and halved
  • 1 bottle of dry red wine, pinot noir or a nice red blend
  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons orange liqueur
  • 1/2 cup sage simple syrup, see notes for recipe
  • sparkling water, optional

Instructions

  • Place the cherries into a large pitcher. Pour the remaining ingredients over the cherries. Stir well.
  • Let the sangria marinate over night (or at least 6 hours) in the fridge.
  • Serve over ice. Top with sparkling water and a sage leaf.

Notes

Sangria taste best when allowed to marinate over night. Don’t expect delicious flavor an hour or two after mixing. Also, don’t splurge on wine for this mix, a moderate to cheap bottle of wine works fine. I like to double this recipe, because it tends to go fast.
