• Bottle of Red Wine: Whichever type you prefer will work. You can use a Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, or any sweet red Italian wine, just make sure you get the 750ml bottle.
• Cranberry Juice: Try to get the pure, unsweetened kind. We don't need sweetened juice since we are adding syrup separately.
• Blackberry Syrup: This is the key ingredient that gives this unique sangria its distinct flavor.
• Italian Brandy / Tuaca
• Lemon Juice: adds a tangy tartness to the drink.
• Orange Slices and Lemon Slices: For garnish, I used one orange and one lemon
• Fresh Blackberries: You will need to slice them a couple times so that they can fully infuse with the liquid.
