Your favorite Thanksgiving cranberry sauce takes center stage with a little liquid courage. Tart and sweet, this is the perfect cocktail for your Thanksgiving table.

Ingredients
- 9 ounces cranberries fresh or frozen, divided
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 ounces ginger roughly chopped
- 2 oranges preferably Valencia
- 1 cup cranberry juice cocktail
- 1 cup vodka
- 1 750ml bottle Pinot Grigio
Servings: (easily doubled, tripled)
Instructions
- Combine 6 ounces of cranberries, chopped ginger, sugar, water and peel of one orange in a sauce pan (2-quart minimum). Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the cranberries pop and the sugar is dissolved.
- Leave this to cool slightly before straining it through a fine mesh sieve and into your pitcher. If it's thickened too much from cooling, stir in the cranberry juice before straining.
- Juice the orange that you've peeled into the pitcher, too--you should have about 1/2 cup. Slice the remaining orange into half moons and put these half moons, along with the remaining 3 ounces of cranberries, vodka and wine into the pitcher. Stir to combine, cover, and chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours before serving.
Recipe Notes
You can make the sangria 1 - 2 days in advance. Just be sure to keep it covered.
