White Christmas Sangria

Instructions

Batch recipe for 5-7 people

To make this cocktail, you’ll need:

• 1 bottle white wine (I use pinot grigio)
• 1 bottle sparkling white grape juice or sparkling apple cider
• 5 oz of Gordon’s Premium Pink Gin, barrel aged for a minimum of two weeks
• 3/4 cup cranberries, whole
• 1/3 cup cranberries, halved
• 1/2 cup seedless green grapes, halved
• 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped
• rosemary sprigs for garnishing

This one can be made in advance. Grab a pitcher and combine your barrel-aged gin, juice/cider and fruit. Add white wine. Stir and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

To serve, dip the rim of a glass in light corn syrup and coat with coconut flakes.

Add fruit from the pitcher to the glass.

Fill ¾ full with sangria and top off with club soda or ginger ale (if you prefer a sweeter sangria).

Garnish with a rosemary sprig.
