    Apple cider sangria with fruit

    What's a virtual pumpkin party without a cocktail?  NOT a party at all, so I'm bringing the booze!

    This Apple Cider Sangria is so packed with fall flavors, I know you will love it.  It's super simple to make with apple cider, seltzer water and your favorite dry white wine.  Add a spoonful or two of pumpkin and that's it!  If you prefer to use a flavored seltzer, go with an orange or other citrus one. 

    I used sauvignon blanc but a pinot grigio or other dry white wine would work well too.

    What to Put In Your Sangria...

    • apples
    • oranges
    • pears
    • cranberries
    • pomegranate seeds
    • cinnamon sticks
    • the sky's the limit!

    The fruit is the best part because it gets soaked with the wine - you must eat it.  I mean really the boozy apples, pears and oranges are the bomb!

      Pumpkin sangria??!! I've had my fair share of sangria...but never of the pumpkin variety!! So, so creative. And a perfect drink to curl up with and enjoy pumpkin-fest.
