Harvest Sangria
It's time to fully embrace the season and enjoy this fruity sangria full of fall flavor!
On this perfectly autumn Cocktail Friday, it’s truly time to embrace the season with our Harvest Sangria. This isn’t your average sangria, not by a longshot. There’s no orange here to sweeten the drink. Instead, we placed apples front and center with chopped fresh apples, apple cider, as well as Applejack Brandy to give it a little bit of extra apple kick. Also, rather than your more traditional red wine sangria, this is based around a nice chardonnay. And the result looks as much like fall as it tastes. That color is absolutely gorgeous! And with the fresh cranberries steeping in the drink, it looks quite festive as well. But hey, don’t just look at this beauty of a cocktail. Poor yourself a glass!
