Winter Sangria

Every great party needs a great cocktail. I am a champagne and wine kind of girl, so typically my favorite cocktails use either champagne or wine as the base. For this holiday drink we are using red wine and spices to make this fun holiday cocktail. Here is my recipe for Winter Sangria....

1 bottle Rioja
1/2 cup brandy
4 cinnamon sticks
4 whole star anise
1 orange washed and sliced thin
1 red grapefruit washed and sliced thin
1 bottle of seltzer

In a chilled pitcher combine all ingredients except the seltzer. Let sangria sit overnight in the fridge to allow the flavors to meld together. To serve, fill your favorite glasses with ice then pour the sangria in each glass leaving 1/4 inch of room on top. Top each glass with the seltzer and be sure each glass gets orange and grapefruits slices. Enjoy!
