Here’s the thing about fruit at Christmas- we already know fruit is good for you. But for a present? I mean, you could give someone the gift of a big ol’ fruit basket. And maybe they would love it – or, you could give them the gift of an awesome Sangria Jar full of delicious fruit and wine. And they would totally crown you the “Best Gift Giver Ever In History”… I mean, I know the type of people I want to be friends with! (wink, wink)

And FYI – if you come to my home toting an adorable drink dispenser with all the necessary ingredients to make a homemade Sangria, you might as well buckle up buttercup because you’re about to be my Best Friend Forevah!

All it takes to make this gift of so much friggin’ glad tidings is one trip to the store and about 30 minutes of your time when you get home. Seriously, easy on your wallet and your time!

• Glass Dispenser Jar – mine were purchased at Walmart
• Wood Spoon (If there’s no predrilled hole, you will have to drill a hole in the handle or simply place the spoon in jar if you prefer to not drill)
• Wine (white, red, whatever you or the recipient prefers just make sure the wine bottle fits inside the jar)
• Fresh Cranberries
• Oranges, Apples, Lemons and Limes
• A small jar/can of cranberry juice or orange juice (optional)

For the tag I used a wood craft slice, a black and white printed recipe on regular printer paper from my computer made on Microsoft Word and a layer of ModPodge under and over the cut paper to adhere the recipe to the wood slice.

I have attached the recipe in a PDF format below. You may need to adjust the size before printing depending on the size of your wood slice (mine was approx. 3″ round).

Attach it with a cute ribbon around the mouth of the jar.

Easy Peasy Cranberry Apple Orange Lime Lemon Squeezy. Right?!
