It’s Saturday, and your significant other suddenly notifies you that unexpected guests are on their way. For something simple, unique and sweet that  takes less than 5 minutes, apple cider sangria would be an instant hit this fall season. Using a semi-sweet Moscato, the spiciness from unfiltered apple juice, fizz from the ginger ale and some rum for a little extra kick, this is a flavorful fall favorite with a twist you simply can’t resist.

Ingredients:

• 1 bottle of Moscato (semi-sweet white wine)
• 1 cup light rum
• 2 cups unfiltered apple juice
• 2 cup ginger ale
• Apple slices for serving
• Ice

Directions:

• Combine liquid ingredients, stir and chill
• Add ice and apple before serving.

Enjoy!
