National Sangria Day is December 20th, a drink made with red wine that looks festive for the holidays. We have quite a few delicious recipes below. But how about a recipe for Winter White Sangria?
While not all sangria recipes use spirits in addition to wine, this one adds rum. It also has winter fruits: pears and persimmons.

RECIPE: WINTER WHITE SANGRIA
Thanks to Kōloa for the recipe, which uses the brand’s Kōloa Kaua’i Gold Rum.
Gold rum, also known as amber rum, has been aged in wooden casks, giving the rum its signature color and a sweeter, richer flavor. You can substitute
