Warm Sangria

I love serving a signature cocktail at a party - it's festive and frugal! Warm Sangria is a great choice for a Christmas Party or any cold weather event. Added bonus - the aroma of the mulling spices will fill your home!

  • 4 oranges sliced (leave peel on)
  • 2 lemons sliced (leave peel on)

Instructions

  1. Place cloves in a cheesecloth bag or wrap and tie in cheesecloth to prevent your guests from getting pieces of clove in their drink!

  4. Note: if it's too hot it may crack your glass.
