This should be winter, spring, summer , fall sangria! I am a sangria lover and this delicious recipe is in the top 3 for sure. I have not tried it with Rose Regale yet, but have several different wines . I think my favorite was using a Frico Lambrusco that is sold in cans .

This was a hit for me a few times. My liquor store does not carry Rosa Regale but i used a sangria bottle and it worked well!

I made this for a family party and everyone loved it! I used Rosa Regale as suggested. The cinnamon sticks add a nice flavor. I did not add the orange liqueur, but would like to try adding it next time. Very easy to make. I will make this again!

Really good and super easy. I made it for a Holiday Brunch and everyone enjoyed it. I omitted the Orange Liqueur as I didn’t have any. Rosa Regale is an excellent sparkling wine.

This is a great holiday drink! I made it for Girl’s Night at my place and it was a big hit. Since it calls for one cinnamon stick and didn’t want to pay for a pack of several, I just added a few sprinkles of ground cinnamon instead. I added an extra green apple to the recipe since I always love the fruit in sangria. I also added closer to 6oz of the orange liqueur. Will be making this again soon!

This was easy and so delicious! I did not have cinnamon sticks, but added the ground and it was excellent. This goes in my repertoire!

Awesome Sangria! The cinnamon really gave it a nice twist and fit perfectly at the Thanksgiving table. It was gone in no time, should have made a double batch!
