20 Minute Easy Fall Harvest Sangria

By srumbel

Sangría is a quick drink to make… no real need to soak any fruits longer than a few minutes to get the flavor you’re looking for. 20 Minute Easy Fall Harvest Sangria combines apples, pears, cinnamon and cloves with dry white wine, apple cider and a little bit of brandy. The combination is definitely party worthy. Now you can strain the sangria if you like to serve over crushed ice or you can serve it with the fruit in there. This was a batch I made for my husband and I so I would pull out the cloves before serving to company. You would not want anyone to crack a tooth.
