Thanksgiving Sangria
This simple Thanksgiving sangria is packed full of pomegranate seeds, apple, orange and semi sweet red wine. This drink is perfect for your holiday table.
You guys! I’m leaving for Grenada tomorrow and I’m stressed because I’m totally not a fan of flying. When I say “I’m not a fan” I mean I really really really hate flying.
Like for real.
Like I went to my doctor and insisted she write me a prescription for Xanax. So, that should be fun. My best friend said I should live tweet my experience with the hashtag #BranonXan. Which sounds like fun in theory but really would just leave my readers wondering if I lost my mind.
Also, I realize I just started two sentenced with the work “like.” My high school English teacher is probably cursing me from Ohio.
Since I won’t be home on Thanksgiving I’m handing this recipe to my husband and insisting he make it for his family in Connecticut.
They can drink this delicious Thanksgiving libation and I will sip on rum cocktail through an umbrella straw. I’m sad that I won’t be home to gorge myself on turkey but at least I can eat seafood and drink cocktails with Gina.
So, there is that.
If you’re not a fan of adding sugar to your sangria you’re in luck with this recipe. I opted to instead us Truvia brown sugar blend (so good!) instead of the usual superfine sugar.

Yum yum yum!!! Is it Thursday yet?! 🙂
I always have a bit of leftover wine after big dinners (hard to believe but true). I think I’ll have this sangria with my turkey sandwiches the day after!
This is my kind of cocktail, fresh fruit and champagne… enough said! Pinning this now!
I hear ya on the flying fears…like for real.
This sangria though should be served on the plane during the holidays, that would help!! And #branonxan, LOL, I love it 🙂
I hope your flight goes well, good thing Gina will be there with you 🙂

Sending good thoughts your way for the flight! May it be smooth and over quickly. And this sangria – wow!!
This sounds luscious! Do you need to add Truvia or any sugar? Have you tried it without?
I love that you used Truvia in place of sugar – I bet you can’t even tell the difference! Have a great trip! My aunt is the same as you – hates flying and always medicates herself 😉
This belongs on my Thanksgiving table. And so it shall be. Have fun in Grenada!
I’m so proud of you for boarding that plane and going! And really, those cocktails with the umbrella straws will make it totally worth it. (Plus, Xanax. Of course.) Cheers to you!
