Ingredients
Drink Base
- 1 bottle de-alcoholized red wine (fertility, money, dreams)
- 2-3 tbsp fig preserves, heaping (fertility, strength, sexual desire)
Mixers
- 16 oz pomegranate juice (fertility, creativity, money)
- 1 lemon, sliced into rounds (love, purification)
- 1 lime, sliced into rounds (love, protection)
- 1 orange, sliced into rounds (love, prosperity)

- soda water, to taste, optional
Garnish
- Black figs, sliced vertically (fertility, energy, sexual desire)
- Black grapes (fertility, money, dreams)
- Black plums, sliced into crescents (stimulation, sex)
- 1 tbsp honey, optional, for rimming the glass (fertility, sweetness, prosperity)
- 10 freeze-dried blackberries, crushed, optional, for rimming the glass
Instructions
- Add 2-3 heaping tablespoons of fig preserves to a small jar or container, depending on your desired level of sweetness. Add 1/2 cup of dealcoholized wine, replace the lid and shake vigorously until the preserves are well blended. Pour mixture into a large pitcher.
- Add lemon, lime and orange slices. Gently muddle, bruising the fruit rather than pulverizing it.
- Add remaining wine.
- Add half as much pomegranate juice as there is wine.
- Add cinnamon sticks, if desired.
- Stir and chill, an hour is good, eight hours are better.
- If rimming your glass, place 8-10 freeze-dried blackberries into a bowl and pulverize into a fine powder with the muddler. Place a small amount of honey on a plate, dip the rim of each glass into the honey and then into the fruit powder.
- Fill each glass halfway with ice. Add your fresh garnishes - a few slices of plum, a few fig halves and a small handful of grapes. Add sangria. Top with soda water, if desired.

Notes
Substitutions
Don’t have lemons, limes and oranges? Use whatever combo you've got! Can't find all the fresh fruit garnishes? Again, use what you can find; it will still be perfectly magickal. Not sweet enough for you? Add honey, or better yet, a simple syrup made with honey so that it incorporates easily. I've also added oleo saccharum in a pinch. Which dealcoholized red wine should I buy? Since you're mixing it with lots of flavorful ingredients, it really doesn't matter. It just needs to be drinkable. Ariel Dealcoholized Cabernet Sauvignon is my favorite for drinking straight, but it works well in this recipe, too. Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
