Pumpkin Pie Sangria

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
1/4 cup sugar
water or syrup, in a shallow plate
1/6 apple, thinly sliced, for garnish
1 bottle white wine, chilled
1 bottle sparkling cider, chilled
1/2 cup pumpkin pie vodka
1 pear, chopped
1 apple, chopped
cinnamon sticks, for garnish

Directions

On a small shallow plate, combine the pumpkin spice and sugar, mixing well to combine.

Dip the rims of your intended serving glasses in the water or syrup, then dip the rims into the sugar/spice mixture. Doing it in this order ensures the sugar sticks to the rim.

Garnish each rim with an apple slice and set aside.

In a large pitcher, combine the cider, wine, and pumpkin pie vodka.

Add the chopped fruit, then stir to combine.

You can let the mixture sit for a few minutes, if desired, to ensure that the flavors truly combine.

Pour the mixture into the prepared glasses, then garnish with a cinnamon stick.

Serve!
