Blood Orange and Pomegranate Sparkling Sangria Recipe

Simple Syrup:

1. To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sweetener and hot water. Whisk until the sweetener has mixed into the water.

Sparkling Rosé Sangria:

1. Juice two of the blood oranges with a citrus juicer, or just squeeze the blood orange halves to extract the juice. Slice the remaining blood orange into thin rounds, then slice them through the middle to create half-moons.

2. In a pitcher, combine the blood orange juice, blood orange slices, pomegranate arils, and brandy.

3. Although it’s great as it is, let the fruit marinate in this mixture for a few hours, covered and chilled in the refrigerator, for best flavor.

4. When ready to serve, pour in the sparkling rosé. Add simple syrup to taste. Use a ladle to divide the sangria and fruit into glasses.
