Ginger Cider Sangria
Holiday 2017
Sangria is a great option to serve your guests but the classic version, with red wine, brandy and sugar, can be high in alcohol and calories. Here we have created a sangria that packs a punch of flavour, and is light enough to enjoy with friends throughout the holidays. We developed the base with juices and fresh ginger, which is known for its restorative properties and gives us the aromatic zing we were looking for. Our version eliminates the liquor and replaces wine with cider to create a delicious, light and fruity sangria.
