Apple Cider Sangria

This festive holiday cocktail is just enough cheer to get you in the holiday spirit. As I have stated before, give me apples over pumpkin any day and this drink trumps a pumpkin spice latte in my book! I made a pitcher and brought it to Thanksgiving. It was so delicious that I made another one and enjoyed a glass while I decorated my Christmas tree.

This recipes serves 4-6 people.

INGREDIENTS:

1 bottle of Pinot Grigio – I used Cupcake, which gave a nice sweet pear flavor
2 1/2 cups apple cider
1 cup club soda
1/2 cup apple whiskey
2 large honey crisp apples, diced – I left the skins on so I could tell which was apple and which was pear
3 Bosc pears, peeled and diced

DIRECTIONS:

Combine liquid ingredients together into a pitcher and stir well. Add in fruit. Chill for a few hours or over night to let the flavors blend into amazing apple goodness!
