Looking for a Thanksgiving cocktail with wine, or a Thanksgiving winetail? An Apple Cranberry Sangria may be just the way to go.
Just mix the following ingredients in a large pitcher and let it sit in the fridge for 3-4 hours, or overnight if possible….
Recipe:
- 1 bottle red wine
- ¾ c. unfiltered apple cider
- ¾ c. cranberry juice
- ¾ c. brandy
- ¼ c. simple syrup
- 1 red apple
- 1 green apple
- ½ c. fresh cranberries
For a lower sugar option, you could do a ½ cup of apple cider, ½ cup cranberry juice, and a few tbsp of simple syrup and then mix with sparkling water in your glass right before serving.
