Virgin Christmas Sangrias

Ingredients

64 oz Cranberry Black Cherry Cocktail Juice
3 – 25 oz bottles Sparkling Apple Grape Juice chilled
1 Cup Mulling Spice
1 Cup Fresh Cranberries (Optional)
1 Apple Fresh Chopped Apples (Optional)
10 small sticks Cinnamon Sticks (Optional)

Instructions

Pour all of the Cranberry Black Cherry Juice into a pot.
Add one cup of mulling spice. Bring to boil. Strain Juice to get leftover mulling spices out.
Let Chill for four to five hours or overnight. Keep a little bit of the leftover boiled mulling spice to add to drink for a little extra aesthetic or leave out completely.
When ready to serve, add sparkling Apple-Grape Cider.
I mix 1 part mulling cranberry juice mixture to 4 parts of sparkling apple-grape cider. (You can serve it up in a punch bowl or serve each drink up one at a time)
Optional: You can add fresh cranberries and pieces of chopped apples to the drinks for some extra flair.

I cooked mine with cranberries and cinnamon sticks, but it is not necessary and does not make the drink taste any better. I think the drinks look better with fresh cranberries to garnish them then cooked squashed cranberries anyways.
