Port Wine Sangria
The game-changer in this sangria is soaking the fruit in Duplin American Port and finishing the drink with ginger beer. With a hit of brandy and notes of dried fruit, the sweet port adds an extra kick plus special flavor. In fall and winter, use apples, oranges and frozen cherries in this sangria. Finish the drink with any Duplin red wine, but in fall Pum'kin is especially nice because it's hint of cozy spices picks up the port's caramel notes. A splash of ginger at the end provides a little fizz and brings all the flavors together.
