Easy Sangria Recipe (& my Halloween Bar Cart)

October 24, 2018

Hi Everyone!! I hope you’re all excited for Halloween. I don’t have any Halloween plans other than handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, but I still wanted to style my bar cart for the holiday. I should have done this a month ago, but better late than never, am I right? I figured I’d share my bar cart styling with y’all and also my favorite sangria recipe in case you were looking for an easy cocktail to make for the holiday. 

I hate fruit (I know I’m weird), but I do enjoy a super fruity sangria. I like to add all the fruit flavors and make it pretty sweet! The best part about sangria is you can swap out any ingredient for a different flavor and it will still work. This just happens to be my favorite combination!

Ingredients:

2 large oranges (and any other fruit you’d like to add)

1 cup pineapple brandy

1 bottle of mixed red wine (or whatever red wine you prefer)

1 cup triple sec (orange liqueur)

2 packets of stevia sweetener

1 cup of water

24 ounces of sparking cranberry juice

  • Cut your oranges in slices and other fruits into small pieces and place them in the bottom of your container
  • Pour brandy over the fruit and allow it to sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour
  • Combine wine, water, Triple Sec, and stevia and stir
  • Let combination sit in fridge until 15 minutes before you plan to serve it
  • Add sparkling cranberry juice right before serving the sangria

I’m also loving my bar cart! You can thank Home Goods and the dollar spot at Target for this set up!

Welcome to Bluebonnet Porch! I’m Clare, a 30 year old newlywed living in Raleigh, NC with her husband and two dogs! I bought my (well, now I guess it’s our’s) house in 2020 when I was a single 25 year old and have spent the last 4 years renovating it and making it my dream house! It is a 100ish year old craftsman bungalow in Downton Raleigh, North Carolina, and I pinch myself every day that I get to live here.

I love all things home decor, DIY, food, entertaining, reading, and working out, and I can’t wait to share more about my life with y’all!
