This pomegranate sangria is perfectly sweet with just the right fruit and wine combination. It is everything a pitcher cocktail should be, and more. This sangria features a few of my favorite things: fresh oranges, pomegranate juice and seeds, white wine, and my favorite sparkling Moscato. Combined with some orange liqueur, they make up an awesome sangria. For the fruitiest flavor, make it ahead and refrigerate until ready to serve. This will allow for the fruit and mint to marinate in the wine and liqueur mixture. Wait to pour in the sparkling wine until you're ready to serve. This will ensure the sangria is nice and bubbly the moment you serve it.
