Ready to toast the season? This Spiced Pear Sangria is the kind of cocktail that looks as good as it tastes. It's bursting with rich color, cozy spice, and just the right balance of fruit and warmth.
Start with red wine and layer in St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur, Saigon cinnamon, and clove. Add in a splash of Cointreau, fresh lemon, apple juice, and a little simple syrup for a winter-ready sangria with warmth and depth.
Garnished with fresh pear slices and meant for sharing, this is sangria with a holiday twist—easy to batch, effortless to sip, and elegant enough for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a dinner party, decorating the tree, or just looking for something festive to fill your glass, this one checks all the boxes.
