Ingredients
This delightful treat brings together both fall and winter flavors that will complement Thanksgiving dinners or holiday get togethers. Though we prefer using a red wine like Pinot Noir, it can be made with the white, red or blush of your choosing.
- 1 bottle of red wine (750ml)
- 1 C apple cider
- 1 C unsweetened cranberry juice
- 1/2 C Grand Marnier (or other orange liquor)
- 1/2 C Bumbleberry Farms Honey (Raw Wild Clover or Raw + Gently Filtered are best, or our Sweet Orange Blossom Honey would also do!)
- 1 C cranberries
- 1 C diced apples
- Seltzer Water (optional)
OPTIONAL GARNISHES:
- Cinnamon Sticks
- Rosemary Sprigs
- Star Anise
Try one of these!
Instructions:
TIP: Though you can make and serve this beverage right away, we find it's best when the flavors can meld overnight in the fridge.
Step 1: In a large pitcher, combine wine, cider, cranberry juice, Grand Marnier and Bumbleberry Farms Honey. Stir until honey is well blended.
Step 2: Add Cranberries and Diced Apples.
Step 3: Chill until ready to serve.
SERVING SUGGESTION: Pour into a wine glass and top with a splash of seltzer water for a fizzy drink. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, sprig of rosemary and star anise (for a festive holiday touch!). Stir with cinnamon stick and serve.
