The Holidays are just around the corner and it’s time to start the celebrations. Whether it’s Thanksgiving or Christmas, no holiday party is complete without a festive cocktail. I was looking for a simple recipe for my Friendsgiving, something that would satisfy many palettes and taste like home. I decided to go with a simple Harvest Sangria, mixing some white wine, harvest apples, and spices of the season. It turned out to be a hit at my party so I wanted to share the recipe with you all!
I snagged this two gallon drink dispenser from Walmart for only $12. It was the perfect size to fit on my bar cart and have enough room for cups and fruit dressings. It held the perfect amount of sangria to entertain a room of up to 25 people. It’s now a kitchen staple and I can’t wait to use it for my Spring and Summer cocktails as well.
Below is the recipe I crafted for this Harvest Sangria. I used a Moscato Sangria which is on the sweeter side to pair with my fruits. However, you can use virtually any white wine in this recipe. I hope you enjoy, and if you do chose to make this please tag me in all your pretty pictures! I can’t wait to see!

HOW TO MAKE IT:

Looking forward to sharing more recipes with you! Hope everyone enjoys the Holiday Season!
