Fill your house with the warm smells of a white wine sangria perfect for fall with apple cider and spices.
This apple sangria is a wonderful treat that smells incredible and goes down way too easily. We think it’s a perfect cocktail to start off the holiday season. It warms your heart and your tummy too.
The incredible aroma of cinnamon, oranges, and warm apple cider filled our house recently, and it made me swoon. It is better than any store-bought candle or incense. I have always loved sangria, and this delicious spiced concoction did not disappoint. The bold flavors of mulled cider combined with white wine is somehow perfect on a cold winter day. It is almost as fun to make as it is to drink.
