Notes
Pro-Tip: Make Cranberry-Orange Ice Cubes
No one wants a watered-down sangria! My favorite trick for keeping sangria or punch cold but not watered down is to make some ice cubes out of juice ahead of time. It’s really easy to do.- Just combine equal amounts of cranberry and orange juices and pour into extra-large ice cube trays filling two-thirds of the way full.
- Add a little extra festive touch with frozen cranberries seeds in each well in the mold., if you like.
- Freeze until solid.
