Do you have another favorite sangria recipe you’d like to share with us? We’d love to hear all about it in the comments below.
Orange, Aperol and Rosemary Sangria
Ingredients
1 cup orange liqueur, such as Clement Creole Shrubb
1 cup soda water
1/2 cup Aperol
1/3 cup loosely packed fresh rosemary leaves
One 750-milliliter bottle chardonnay or other rich white wine
1 1/2 cups orange juice (from about 6 oranges)
2 oranges, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Directions
Add the Aperol and rosemary to a 3-quart pitcher, and bruise the rosemary with a wooden spoon for 1 minute. Add the wine, juice, liqueur and soda water, and stir to combine. Add the oranges, and cover the pitcher with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the sangria for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
To serve, fill 8 glasses halfway with ice, then pour the sangria, oranges and herbs into each glass.

We have a hunch this punch will taste even better in our hand-blown Murano-style glasses and pitcher!
