Vampire FANGria

It wouldn't be Halloween without some red wine Sangria. I have been craving some sangria but wanted to give it a Halloween spin. Recently I started watching the show @theshadowsfx (which is so good) and it's got me thinking vampire vibes for Halloween. So let's make red wine sangria, perfect for a vampire! Maybe we should call it "FANGria"!? (my husband lovingly came up with that name because we love a good play on words!)

Sangria is the perfect drink to make if you are hosting! I make sangria or cider every year for the holidays (it's especially great for Thanksgiving) because it serves a lot of people. One recipe of sangria (1 pitcher) serves about 8 glasses. So let's grab a pitcher or a large dispenser and get ready to host a party fit for vampires ;)

Vampire FANGria (1 pitcher serving) 🧛‍♀️🧛🍷

- 1 Bottle of Red Wine (doesn't have to be a super expensive bottle. I used a Malbec for this one. Pinot Noir is good too)

- 1/2 cup brandy

- 1/2 cup cranberry juice

- 1 tablespoon of my spiced simple syrup

- 2 table spoons of regular simple syrup

- 1/2 cup Blackberries

- 1/2 cup Frozen Blueberries

- 2 Blood Oranges Sliced

- lemon/lime seltzer or soda

- Vampire teeth

In a pitcher, add your friend first, next pour in your entire bottle of wine. Add in your brandy, cranberry juice and simple syrups. Top with your lemon/lime soda or seltzer and give it a good stir! Cover your pitcher and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 mins. I usually let mine chill overnight in the fridge. The sangria can keep for about 5-7 days in the fridge with fruit in it. Now let's get ready to serve because this is the fun part! Grab a festive glass (something that looks vampire like, pour your sangria into the glass, add a slice of blood orange and #garnish with your plastic vampire teeth! Best enjoyed while dressed in dark clothing and a red lip :)
