Hey everyone, thanks for tuning in to #WeddingWednesday! We are excited to be back after a great Thanksgiving. Today we enjoyed a holiday-inspired signature cocktail, a really creative DIY project and some fantastic holiday deals to help you save on wedding essentials!
Signature Cocktail: Winter Sangria
This is such a fun signature cocktail for your winter wedding or party, and it’s easy to make in big batches ahead of time. The result is a beautiful color, perfect to add “pop” to your event. We love the idea of having the sangria in pitchers on each table to add color to your tablescape. This cocktail can easily be modified to non-alcoholic punch.
Ingredients:
- Pinot grigio
- Cranberry juice
- Plain seltzer water (or Sprite for non alcoholic sangria)
- Seasonal fruit: apples, pears, cranberries, oranges
Directions:
- Cut fruit into bite size pieces
- Pour pinot grigio, cranberry juice & seltzer/Sprite into pitcher
- Add fruit
- Mix
- Pour into individual glasses
- CHEERS!
