Thanksgiving Cocktail: Fall Sangria

Sangria is one of my favorite festive drinks, and it’s easy to make for a crowd. This fall sangria recipe is perfect for Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, or any get-together you have coming up.

Gather your supplies: wine, apple cider, bourbon, cinnamon sticks, apple, orange, ginger, and rosemary. Plus a pitcher. I used a plastic pitcher to stir it all up and then I’ll transfer it to a pretty one for serving.

Slice your fruits and toss ‘em in a pitcher with your other liquids. Refrigerate overnight and bam! Sangria!

When I tasted the sangria after a night in the fridge, I thought it needed a little extra something, so I added 1/3C of Gran Gala Liqueur.

To serve it cold, pour over ice and garnish with apples or orange slices, a cinnamon stick, and/or rosemary.

To serve it warm, heat on the stove without the fruits, and serve in a mug garnished with a cinnamon stick, fruit slices, and/or rosemary.

Let us know in the comments if you make this or if you have a favorite holiday drink.
