Ingredients:
| 1 Bottle | Frank Family Napa Valley Zinfandel |
| 1/2 Cup | Pomegranate juice |
| 1/4 Cup | Cointreau |
| 1/4 Cup | Brandy |
| 2 Tablespoons | Maple Syrup |
| 1 Cup | Mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries) |
| 1 | Orange, thinly sliced |
| 1 | Cinnamon stick |
| 3-4 | Star anise pods |
Instructions:
- Summon the Spirits: In a large, dark-hued pitcher, pour the Zinfandel like liquid velvet. Add pomegranate juice, orange liqueur, brandy, and a whisper of maple syrup — stirring slowly as if conjuring a potion in Halloween Town.
- Enchant with Color: Float in the berries like tiny gems, layer in the orange slices like harvest moons, and drop in a cinnamon stick — a wand of spice twisting through the crimson liquid.
- Let the Magic Unfold: Chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight if time allows, so the flavors dance together like Jack and Sally under the moonlight.
- Serve the Spell: Pour over ice and let a few berries drift on the surface like fallen stars.
