Cranberry, Thyme & Anise Sangria: A Spicy, Boozy Punch!

Cranberry Thyme and Anise Sangria

Keeping it short and sweet for you all today!

Oh, HI!

So, rude of me.

This past weekend Justin and I were in Maryland and visited this really cute town called Chesapeake Beach.  It was full of antiques shops, fresh ocean air and amazing restaurants.

We stopped at this adorable pub called Neptune’s Seafood Pub, where, if you follow me on Instagram, you saw we gorged on crab galore and delectable Old Bay and butter seasoned mussels.

Though the food was homey and definitely hit the spot, the item that caught my eye was the cranberry sangria.

SO FESTIVE.

SO DELICIOUS.Cranberry Thyme and Anise Sangria

It is one of my favorite adult beverages and is perfect for any season.  Who doesn’t love a punch of wine and seasonal fruit?

The bartender shared her recipe with me; it’s easy, quick and more importantly enjoyable boozy.

I’ve spiced up her recipe with the addition of fresh herbs and whole spices.

You all know about my obsession with spices.  

This sangria will prove to be a sure fire hit at your up and coming holiday parties! Xx
