Ingredients

6 oz rye whiskey
2 12 oz bottles of spiced winter lager/ale
12 oz sparkling water citrus or berry flavored recommended
2 oz orange juice
1 blood orange sliced thin
1 common orange Valencia, Navel, Cara Cara sliced thin
½ cup halved red seedless grapes
½ cup blackberries
½ cup cranberries
4-5 cloves
2 cinnamon sticks plus more for garnish
2 sprigs of rosemary plus more for garnish

Instructions

Wash and cut (as appropriate) all the fruit and arrange in layers at the bottom of a pitcher.
Add the cloves, cinnamon sticks and rosemary.
Add the rye whiskey and the orange juice and let the fruit soak for a few minutes.
If you are going to serve the winter beer sangria right away prepare glasses with ice cubes and fruit/rosemary garnish, otherwise consider refrigerating it until needed. Optional - prepare extra cinnamon sticks for garnish and to use as straws if desired.
When ready to serve add the sparkling water first and then the beer. When you add the beer pause frequently to let the foam dissipate.
Gently stir everything together and once the fruit settles to the bottom pour into glasses.
