Cranberry Cornucopia Sangria

Ingredients

• 1 large orange
• 3 small apples
• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• 8 ounces triple sec

• 1 (750 ml) bottle dry red wine, chilled

• 1 (750 ml) bottle sparkling apple cider, chilled

Directions

1. 1

   Quarter the orange with the peel on, then cut each quarter into 3 chunks. Core the apples and cut into 1/2-inch chunks. Coarsely chop the cranberries in a food processor or by hand.

2. 2

   Place the chopped cranberries and the orange chunks into a 3-quart or larger pitcher. Add the orange liqueur and muddle the fruit in the triple sec with a cocktail muddler or a wooden spoon to release the juices. Add the apples and mix to blend with other fruit. Cover and macerate the fruit for at least 2 hours, and up to 24 hours.

   Just before serving, add the chilled wine and the sparkling cider. Stir to mix. Serve in glasses of your choice, making sure to get some fruit into every serving.
