Blogtoberfest – Vampire Sangria

Hello again! So glad to see y’all along with me for the ride of 31 days of Halloween blogging, or, as I call it……BLOGTOBERFEST…….. Today’s recipe is not a mocktail, but a straight up liquor fest. It was a choice between this and chocolate martinis. I chose this because it looks like fruit punch. (What, me drinking? Nah, this is fruit punch.) And I love sangria. You can find the basic recipe here, but I added my own twists. Prep Time: 5 minutes Total Time: 5 minutes Ingredients: 1 (750 ml bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja reds, Zinfandel, Shiraz) 1 Lemon cut into wedges 1 Orange cut into wedges Strawberry or Kiwi slices 3 Tbsp sugar 2 shots brandy 1 shot gin 2 cups ginger ale or club soda Preparation: Pour wine in the pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon and orange into the wine.

Plain cider is nice, but adding a kick is even nicer. Prepare to enjoy. Ingredients 2 quarts apple cider Dried apple slices Thinly sliced orange 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/8 tsp nutmeg (pinch) 1 cup dark rum cinnamon sticks for stirrin’ In a large pot, combine all ingredients except the rum and bring to a simmer over low heat. Allow mixture to remain for about ten minutes. Remove from the heat, add the rum. Serve in mugs with a cinnamon stick and enjoy. If you want to make ahead, put the mixture in a slow-cooker on “keep warm” and add the rum just before serving.
