3 Easy Cold-Weather Sangria Recipes You Need To Try
Craving the flavors of fall? Make an Autumn Sangria! (Way more fun than a Pumpkin Spice Latte…)
One of the many glorious things about sangria is how easy it is to customize to the season! This summer, I showed you how to create sangria with tropical fruits, watermelon, strawberries, basil, and all that wonderful summer produce— with a big assist from my Cocktail Artist Sangria Mix. (Missed the recipes? Check em out here!). The mix is free from high fructose corn syrup, chemicals, artificial flavors and coloring- we’re talking about fresh fruit juices and a bit of pure cane sugar that we’ve specially engineered to mix seamlessly with wine to make a perfect sangria in seconds.
Now that the temps are dropping and we’re getting cozy, I’ve created 3 new Autumn Sangria recipes that you can enjoy now through the holidays.
Try them out, make them your own, and remember: the glass is your canvas so HAVE FUN!
