Recipe: Fall Harvest Sangria

An easy-to-prepare punch that will be a hit at Friendsgiving.

The holidays are stressful and you can’t always prepare food ahead. This translates to cocktails as well. Luckily we have a recipe for an easy-to-make sangria you can literally put in a plastic bin for Friendsgiving, or elevate in some wine glasses for Thanksgiving. Either way, it’s sure to please!

Fall Harvest Sangria

Yields 1 drink

Ingredients:

• 3 ounces of a dry white or red wine (we used Prosecco for the carbonation)

• 3 ounces of apple cider

• 2 ounces of cranberry juice

• Optional: cinnamon sugar to garnish

Note: I bought a half gallon of apple cider, a bottle of cranberry juice, and one bottle of prosecco and it yielded around 6 drinks

Instructions:

1. Start with pouring 3 ounces of your wine as a base

2. Add in the apple cider. You may need to stir it so it doesn’t separate

3. Top with your desired amount of cranberry juice

4. Enjoy!

Takeaway:

I can’t emphasize how easy this is to make and I’m no bartender. I had this at a wedding and then I brought it to a party where it was a hit!

I’m more of a fan of white wines and I liked the addition of the slight carbonation which is why I used Prosecco. When we ran out at the party, we used a Rosé which worked just as well.
