Every family has it’s own special holiday tradition. Some involve family gatherings, some involve going to mass, and yet others still involve home-made multiple-course meals. My family’s tradition is a bit more unconventional; getting extraordinarily intoxicated. This tradition has spanned generations, creating many new alcoholic beverages along the way. Below, I share with you one of my family’s favorite: The Bloody Sangria.

Ingredients:

• 2/12 cup Cabo Wabo Blanco Tequila
• 2 bottles White wine
• 1 can Frozen Cranberry Juice
• 2 cups Raspberries
• 1/2 cup Blackberries
• 1 cup Lime Juce
• 1 cup Orange Juice
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 1/3 cup Orange Liqueur
• 2 Lemons

1. Add the white wine, tequila, orange liqueur, cranberry concentrate, orange juice and lime juice into a large glass pitcher or bowl.

2. Stir in the sugar until dissolved.

3. Place raspberries in a small bowl and mash with spoon.

4. Stir in the mashed raspberries.

5. Refrigerate overnight, to let the flavors soak into the Sangria.

6. Serve over ice. (Serves 5)
