Notes
- Make the sugared cranberries ahead of time, and store them in the freezer.
- If using flavored ice cubes, simply pour cranberry juice into ice cube trays and freeze. You'll also need to do this ahead of time.
- If you prefer an extra sweet sangria, use some of the simple syrup from the making of the sugared cranberries.
- Make the sangria several hours in advance to meld the flavors. I often make it the day before the event.
- This batch makes about six cocktails. Feel free to double or triple it for large groups.
