by Cascade Ice on October 16, 2020

Need a cocktail recipe that will warm you up and satisfy a few of your closest friends or family? This sparkling autumn sangria is filled with crisp apples, juicy orange slices and sweet cranberries, along with warm fall spices. It’s a perfect way to end a day of pumpkin patch visiting or apple picking while officially welcoming the Autumn season!

Not only can you make a big batch in advance and store it in your fridge (make sure to have the champagne on hand when you’re ready!) but it’s also low-sugar and low-calories. You could even make it without the alcohol for an even lighter version, and add more Cascade Ice Sparkling Water! We simply can’t think of a better way to celebrate fall than with a glass of this sparkling sangria. Cheers!
