Tomorrow is the official start of winter. Today, though, is National Sangria Day, so whip up a pitcher of sangria and ward off thoughts of ice and cold for the time being.
Lindsay Matteson of Amor y Amargo in Manhattan’s bustling East Village makes a You Must Remember This Sangria with Pavan, orange bitters, lime, tangerine juice, Cava, and Vinho Verde. Pavan is a French liqueur made from Muscat grapes and infused with orange blossom, making it an ideal base to take a simple sangria to the next level, adding complexity and balance to this signature favorite.
