Ingredients
 

For the Simple Syrup:

  • 1 cup (227ml) water
  • 1/2 cup (170ml) honey
  • 6 green cardamom pods
  • 5 whole allspice berries
  • 4 star anise pods
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 teaspoons whole cloves
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 2 3-inch long strips orange peel
  • 1 3-inch piece fresh ginger peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Sangria:

  • 1 and 1/4 cups (284ml) orange juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 bottle dry red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon
  • 1 cup (227ml) Grand Marnier liqueur
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 lemon thinly sliced
  • 1 lime thinly sliced
  • 2 honey crisp apples cored and thinly sliced
  • 2 oranges thinly sliced
  • 2 cups (454ml) raspberry seltzer or raspberry club soda

Garnish Ideas:

  • fresh mint sprigs
  • raspberries
  • citrus slices
  • star anise pods

Instructions
 

For the Simple Syrup:

  • Combine the honey, water, spices, citrus peel, and ginger in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the honey has dissolved, about 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. 
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Set aside and cool for 30 minutes, then strain the simple syrup through a fine-mesh strainer and into a heatproof bowl.
  • Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until cool to the touch. Use in the sangria recipe below. 

For the Sangria:

  • Add all of the ingredients (except the club soda) into a large pitcher and gently stir to combine. 
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours - or up to 12 hours. Stir again and add the seltzer right before serving. Note: If you do not plan on serving after 12 hours, strain the sangria through a fine mesh strainer, discard all fruit, and continue refrigerating for up to 12 more hours. Add more fresh right before serving.
  • Pour into glasses filled with ice (if desired) and garnish with any of the garnish ideas listed above. Serve at once!
