Cheers to the most wonderful time of the year! We put our tree up earlier than we usually do and it’s making me just want to do ALL the festive things. Like … sip on holiday-themed cocktails all the while nestled on a blanket … beside my tree with a crackling fire on my tv nearby. Basically, just gimme all the cliché Christmas moments pretty please!

My drink of choice is always a glass of red wine, but I’m spicing things up this season and putting a twist on it. I recently put together this Holiday Cranberry Sangria Cocktail with Master of Mixes and the recipe is in today’s post! More below ….

If you love a glass of sweet red wine … then you will adore this recipe! Master of Mixes Red Sangria Mixer includes just the right amount of spice and fruit flavorings to really enhance a good glass of red.  For a bit of something extra, I added a shot of brandy to my cocktail. Brandy is like a sweeter version of whiskey and has floral and citrus notes – naturally pairing deliciously with this combo!

In my happy place with sweet Lily Girl! My pups usually aren’t the most photogenic (most often they appear as a big white blur in pics lol) but when someone is sitting on the floor in our house they have GOT to be in on the action!

Thank you so much to Master of Mixes for sponsoring this post and providing the most delicious sangria mix for the holiday season! As always, all opinions are my own. Thank you to you all for supporting the brands that make Lone Star Looking Glass possible.
