Winter Wonderland Red Sangria

Rum
Prep time: 60 mins
Author: The Bar Team
A hand pours red sangria with fruit and rosemary from a glass pitcher into stemless glasses on a wooden tray, with string lights and a lit candle in the background.

Because of its bold red and black fruit flavors and tannic structure, red wine has the ability to transform into libations that aren’t just meant for the wine glass. Grenache complements the toasty flavors of vanilla and spiced oak showcased within Zacapa No. 23 dark rum. Rum, which is often associated with hot-weather Mojitos and Piña Coladas, easily transforms into a fall favorite with the addition of orange and cinnamon. If you’re playing host to holiday fêtes this season, consider brewing up a pitcher for your next dinner party.
