Fruity, fragrant, and irresistible to ogres, this strong Booty Bay wine is as dangerous as it is delicious. Plus, it makes enough to satisfy a small ship’s crew, so everybody wins!
1 /3 cup sugar
1 cup brandy
1 cup pomegranate juice
1 /2 cup triple sec
2 apples, peeled, cored, and diced small
1 cup pomegranate seeds
2 oranges, sliced and cut into small wedges
1 large green apple, cored and diced
Other fruit, as desired, such as halved grapes, strawberries, or raspberries (optional)
Two 750 milliliter bottles fruity red wine
Combine the sugar, brandy, triple sec, and pomegranate juice in a large pitcher, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Add the fruit to this mixture and allow it to sit for about 30 minutes, until it has soaked up some of the liquor. Pour the wine over and give everything a vigorous stir. This can be enjoyed over ice in the warm months of summer, or slightly warmed to ward off winter’s chill.
