Holiday Winter Sangria for a Crowd

Holiday Winter Sangria! This stuff is like Christmas in a glass! You can rim the glasses with cinnamon sugar or garnish it with a sprig of rosemary (looks like a Christmas tree!). With this sangria recipe, letting it sit overnight will help the flavors meld together better (and one less thing to do before guests arrive).

Holiday Winter Sangria

• 1 cup ginger brandy (plain brandy will work just fine)
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• juice from 1 lemon
• 1/4 Cup Goldschläger  (Or any cinnamon schnapps, I just happened to have the brand) 
• club soda, to top off the glasses
