Amada's Spiced Cranberry Sangria Serves 5
1 750 ml bottle of rose tempranillo
4 oz. (3/4 cup) of spiced simple syrup*
3 oz. (3/8 cup) of ruby port wine
3 oz. (3/8 cup) of torres gran orange Liqueur or cointreau
3 oz. (3/8 cup) of cranberry juice
apple chip (optional garnish)
Macerated Cranberries
2 cup fresh cranberries
2 granny smith apples cut into small cubes
4 oz. (1/2 cup) of ruby port wine
6 oz. (3/4 cup) of simple syrup
6 oz. (3/4 cup) of triple sec
Macerate fruit in syrup, triple sec and Port Wine (at least four hours and preferably overnight). Keep covered and refrigerated until ready to serve. When finished, fruit should be a bit "soupy" from the juices being drawn out.
Mix wine, simple syrup, port wine and orange liqueur. This is the base wine product for the sangria. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
To serve, add macerated fruit to wine mix. Gently stir. Fill glasses with ice. Scoop 2 tablespoons of the fruit and their juices over the ice. Pour wine mix into glasses, garnish with an apple chip and serve!

3 cinnamon sticks
8 allspice berries

3 whole star anise
To make simple syrup: bring all ingredients to a boil while stirring constantly. Strain solids from liquid. Discard spices. Set liquid aside to cool completely before serving.
