CHRISTMAS SANGRIA

I have created this recipe, while sitting next to the Xmas tree and listening to Christmas song from Michael Buble. By the way, he is such a genius singer, bringing back all the beauty of old songs, kind of reviving it. I love his Christmas album.

It is sort of refreshing drink with fruits. Sparkling wine gives it a nice festive kick. It is not too strong, so you can have more than one glass. You can serve it either in wine or champagne glasses.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 orange
• 1 green apple
• 1 red apple
  
• 1 bottle of sparkling wine
  
• 2 cups apple or orange juice
  
• 1 1/2 cup orange or lemon liqueur
  
• 1 cup ginger ale or soda

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cut all the fruits in very thin slices.
2. Place in a big jar/pitcher, add sparkling wine, juice and ginger ale.
3. Let stand in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
4. Serve in champagne glasses, garnish with carambola fruit star, some ice cubes and mint leaves.

Enjoy this drink!
