What better way to celebrate the Jewish New Year than with a sweetly symbolic beverage – Rosh Hashanah Sangria!
This delightful drink is tasty, refreshing, and visually lovely. It will make a beautiful presentation at your Rosh Hashanah gathering. It’s also a fun way to discuss the symbolism of the holiday with your guests, because it includes many traditional Rosh Hashanah ingredients.
