November 19, 2017 by Alisha Leave a Comment

What’s not to love about this time of year?  Food, family and being thankful for all you have!  Seriously though, sometimes being around family can be a bit of a nightmare so I’m sharing a few seasonal cocktails made with zero-calorie Sparkling Ice and world-renowned Italian winery Santa Margherita to help make the holidays more tolerable!

Fall Punch

1/2 cup apple cider

1 cups hard cider

1 cup Sparkling Ice Crisp Apple

Cinnamon sticks, for garnish

Cinnamon sugar rim, for garnish

Rim the glass with a lemon and dip into cinnamon sugar, set to the side. Combine ciders, bourbon, Sparkling Ice Crisp Apple, and lemon juice in a pitcher- stir to combine. Fill glasses with ice, then punch. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and serve.

DIRECTIONS

Rinse lemon and orange and thinly slice them, discarding seeds; quarter the orange slices. Put fruit in a 4- to 5-quart pan. Add honey, sugar (use the smaller amount if you prefer drinks on the tart side, the larger if you want a sweeter flavor), cloves and allspice.  With a knife, cut the cinnamon sticks lengthwise into thinner strips. Add cinnamon and 2 cups water to pan; bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and boil gently for 5 minutes. PourSanta Margherita Prosecco Superiore DOCG into hot citrus base and heat until steaming, about 8 minutes.  Keep warm over low heat. Ladle into heatproof cups or wineglasses.
