You know what pairs perfectly with the upcoming lunar holiday? Our stellar red sangria recipe, inspired by this month’s Wine Club picks.

So just what is a lunar eclipse, you ask? Basically, it’s when the earth moves between the sun and the moon, creating a shadow on the latter’s surface. And on the evening of July 27, we’re set to see the longest eclipse in a century!

Even cooler, this one will be a blood moon — a phenomenon that occurs when the eclipse casts a shadow and gives the moon a reddish, coppery color.

We’d say that calls for a celebration, or at least a little something to sip on while you take it all in. And we have the perfect cosmic red sangria recipe for you. 

Ingredients:

• 1 Bottle Red Wine (we recommend a fruity bottle, like this pinot noir) 
• 1/2 Cup Brandy
• 1/4 Cup Triple Sec
• 1/2 – 1 Cup(s) Pomegranate Juice
• 1 Pint Blueberries
• 1 Grapefruit, thinly sliced (skin on)
• 1 Apple, thinly sliced
• Optional: a sprig of rosemary for garnish if you’re feeling fancy!

Instructions:

1. Add all the liquids together in a pitcher and stir to combine.
2. Add the fruit, then stir again.

Watch it all come to life below. P.S. — we threw in a white wine version, too. Because let’s be honest, one is never enough.
