What libation is good any day of the week, any week of the month, any month of the year? Sangria! You can easily take a simple recipe and dress it up for a particular time of year – whether that’s a refreshing summer sangria, a fun fall cider sangria or a festive holiday sangria (deets below!), they’re all fun to make… and drink.
In honor of National Sangria Day, we’re mixing up the perfect pomegranate sangria with a splash of Suja’s Classic Fuel just for you! In addition to being a delicious and festive drink, the ingredients just so happen to be good for you as well. Turmeric (found in Fuel) is a well known anti-inflammatory (1), pomegranate is known to promote blood circulation (2) and both cranberries (3) and oranges (4) are high in vitamin C.
