Christmas Prosecco Sangria

Step 1

Prepare the fruit and spices. Combine the cranberries, orange slices, apple slices, cinnamon stick, and rosemary sprigs in a large pitcher or punch bowl.

Step 2

Mix the base. Add the cranberry juice, orange liqueur, brandy, and sugar or honey (if using) to the fruit. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and combine the flavors.

Step 3

Chill. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Add prosecco. Just before serving, pour the chilled prosecco into the pitcher. Gently stir to mix without losing too many bubbles.

Step 5

Serve. Pour into glasses over ice if desired, ensuring each glass gets a mix of fruit. Garnish with an extra sprig of rosemary or a cinnamon stick for a festive touch.
