The Cranberry Orange Sangria is pretty easy to make.  I boiled some cranberries with sugar to make a sweet cranberry flavored syrup, and then drained it off.  Then I combined the cranberry syrup with some white wine, more cranberries, some cinnamon sticks and an orange.  After a few hours of chilling in the refrigerator the flavors have melded into a nice fruity wine, perfect for the holidays.  Make ahead cocktails like this just make hosting a party easier!
