The Meatball Shop's Devil’s Juice Sangría

This Devil’s Juice Sangría from New York City’s The Meatball Shop is the perfect drink to make in large batches. The flavor gets better over time, and it’s fun to serve in a big punch bowl for a group. You’ll have more Ginger Syrup than you’ll probably need, but any leftovers will keep in the fridge up to 2 weeks.
