Punt e Mes Sangria

/ theblindpig11 / 1 Comment

The spicy flavors of fall come bursting through in this yummy Punt e Mes Sangria. You know that we love a good sangria at The Blind Pig Blog, and our newest recipe is definitely moving to the top of the pack.  It is easy, delicious and just the right beverage to serve as you are roasting marshmallows or savoring our Bourbon Pumpkin Dump Cake. Our weather in Texas has been so beautiful lately that we have enjoyed sitting on the back deck, sipping on this delicious sangria.

This recipe is based on our Carpano Antica Sangria which we first shared with you back in July of 2017. The main difference in the two is that we used Punt e Mes instead of Carpano Antica for the vermouth.  Both recipes make excellent sangrias, but the Punt e Mes brings out rich, harvest flavors to savor.

The ingredients that you will need to make Punt e Mes Sangria are: 1 bottle of red wine, grenadine, diet cranberry juice cocktail, simple syrup, Punt e Mes,  and fresh fruits of your choice.  We used apples, pears and plums. Not fans of sweet drinks,  we used a cabernet and diet cranberry juice to cut down on the sweetness.  If you like a sweeter sangria then you may want to use a merlot or other red wine.

Mix everything together and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours prior to serving.  Serve chilled over ice, making sure to add some fruit into the glass for garnish.

Hello Friends!  Did you try the Cola and Whiskey Brisket recipe from last week?  We had great leftovers.  It made some mighty fine tasting brisket tacos for dinner on Monday night.  Remember, if you try our recipes and like them, we love to hear feedback.  Most importantly pin them on pinterest and share the ideas with family and friends.  Each week our Blind Pig following continues to grow and we appreciate all of you who clicked on the little “follow” button in the lower right hand corner of your screen to get our posts emailed to you each week!

We shared with you weeks ago that we love Fall!  Here in Texas we are starting to wake to cool crisp temperatures and by the afternoon the weather is just right for sitting on our back deck or next to a fire in the chimenea with a smooth fall drink in hand.  The beverage we are sharing with you today tastes like fall.  That is the best way to describe it!  It is a sangria with hints of cinnamon and a smooth warm finish from Zaya Rum.  We loved our summer sangria recipe we shared with you, so we are excited to share a twist on a sangria recipe that is Fall in a wine glass.  What could be better?

True to our motto, the ingredients are easy, tasty and fresh.  The fresh fruit of apples and pears with a hint of citrus orange compliments the rum and cinnamon nicely.  We used Diet Sprite in our sangria to cut down on calories and reduce the sweetness.  This recipe tends to be very sweet, so you may want to choose a white wine that is not too sweet for your sangria, such as a Chardonnay.
