I love to entertain but I don’t have to have guests over to plan an extra special meal. I love to celebrate with just the two of us. You know, setting the table, using cloth napkins and of course an out of the ordinary beverage.
If I work hard at preparing a special meal then I want the perfect beverage to accompany it. Of course, sometimes an extra special beverage even brings those leftovers to a higher level.
Anyway it’s fun to have a themed by season beverage to make any day of the year extra special.
And I am happy to announce my buddy Nicola over at The Pink Recipe box has made my life easier in planning those beverages. She has wrote the sweetest
ebook and has organized a list of season inspired beverages. 52 of them to be exact! A new beverage for every week of the year!

Fall Sangria
from The Pink Recipe Box
Ingredients
- 1/2 orange
- 1/2 apple
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 bottle red wine (I recommend Marques de Caceres Crianza Red Wine)
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice / pumpkin spice (mixture of ground cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice)
- 1 1/2oz / 3 tablespoons triple sec
- 1oz / 2 tablespoons cranberry liqueur
- 2 cups lemon-lime soda
Instructions
1. Roughly chop the orange and apple into small chunks and place into the bottom of a large jug.
2. Sprinkle over the sugar and bash it with a long-handled spoon, until most of the sugar has dissolved.
3. Stir in the other ingredients and leave in the fridge for at least 50 minutes for the flavors to infuse before serving.
I'm so glad you liked my book, Evelyn and wrote such a sweet post! You've really made my day 🙂
This sounds really nice ! Must find some Cranberry Liqueur 😉
I enjoy your photography! Amazing picks and a great sangria. Thanks for sharing!
This sounds perfect for fall!! Delish!
How absolutely fun! I would love to try a new recipe/drink recipe each week!
This looks gorgeous! What a beautiful drink!
I will try this in the fall.
Yum! I'm so excited for my first fall back on the mainland after three years of living on an island! I'm gonna celebrate with this recipe 🙂
This sounds delicious. I once made a cider sangria similar to this one and it was great! I love the way the flavors of fall can come together so well. 🙂
Pinning! I love to try new drinks! Thanks for sharing!
