Summer Berry Sangria
Ripe and luscious with lots of boozy berries, plums and oranges, scented with real vanilla and brandy
Ingredients
- 24 oz. bag of mixed frozen berries
- 4 red or black plums sliced and pits removed
- 2 oranges
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 vanilla beans or 3 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup brandy
