Summer officially ends this month, but the weather in St. Louis never quite seems to take its cue from the calendar. Warm days are still upon us and when you’re hosting that get-together outside on the deck, nothing comes together more quickly than a pitcher of sangria. This party punch served up at Mojo stays light on carbonation and heavy on fresh fruit flavor. Looking to re-create the restaurant’s best-selling drink come cool weather? A simple cinnamon stick will do the trick.
Combine all of the ingredients except the club soda and garnishes in a large pitcher. Stir to combine, then top with the club soda.
Add the fruit garnishes, and place in the refrigerator until chilled.
Serve in wine glasses filled with fresh ice.
