Who said white sangria is only for summer?! You’ll love this crisp, autumn-inspired apple sangria cocktail that is very simple to make. My friend Nichole and I enjoyed it last weekend — our men liked it too, although they mostly stuck to their seasonal brew.
If you know your apples, this is probably a fun cocktail for you to make. Want it sweet? Try Macintosh. Sour? Granny Smith. I personally like the tart, sweet mixture so I chose to use granny smith and gala apples.
It’s a refreshing cocktail to sip as you prepare Thanksgiving dinner, just don’t forget to munch on the crispy wine soaked apples!
