Strawberries and Cherries Sangria
Yield: enough to get you tore up
Soundtrack: “Summertime” by Miles Davis
I created this recipe when i was living in Brooklyn, and I’m making it for my friend Brett’s art opening on Saturday. Now there is one key thing to remember when making Sangria: What you put into it you get out of it. So if you use red wine that you wouldn’t thoroughly enjoy alone, it’s not going to make tasty sangria. Clearly, this is an expensive sangria, but splurge on yourself and your friends for a nice holiday treat. You won’t be disappointed.
3 2-inch cinnamon sticks

2 full bottles of good-quality red wine

Lots of strawberries and cherries (trimmed and pitted, of course)
· Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl or container, mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight.
