Another great Halloween sangria! This one comes from the Drink of the Week blog and is called "Blood Red Sangria." It uses dark fruits and warm honey, along with the traditional sangria ingredients, to produce a sweet and ruby-hued drink fit for any blood-thirsty ghoul.
BLOOD RED SANGRIA
1 bottle red wine
12 oz. club soda
2 oz. cognac
3 tbs. warmed honey
4 sliced figs
1/2 cup red or black grapes, halved
1/2 cup pitted cherries (can use frozen if necessary)
ice
Combine the fruit in a large glass bowl, adding the cognac and honey until the honey is dissolved. Pour in the wine and stir gently. Refrigerate for a minimum of two hours and as long as over night.
When ready to serve, pour the mixture into a glass pitcher. (Some people prefer to strain out the fruit at this point and then add it at the end to individual servings.) Add the club soda and stir gently. Pour sangria into wine or highball glasses that are filled with ice.
