How to Store Sangria

If you want to enjoy your Christmas sangria all season long, it’s important to store it properly. Here are a few tips:

-Store in a cool, dark place.

-If you’re not going to drink it all within a week or two, consider freezing it. This will help to keep the flavors fresh.

-When freezing, be sure to leave some headspace at the top of the container so that it doesn’t expand and break.

-To serve, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then stir before serving. You may need to add a splash of water or orange juice to refresh the flavors..Click for source
