It is fix a drink Friday and have I got a drink for you. We make a lot of bourbon drinks in our house and I wanted to change things up. I had a bottle of Rose’ sitting in my fridge  that I wanted to make sangria with. So I was playing around with some flavors.

I added some chopped apples and plums to a pitcher. Next I added apple cider, brandy, orange seltzer and cinnamon sticks to the pitcher. I placed it in a fridge for an hour and tried it. It was so good. Unfortunately I had to run out for a few hours, so I had a glass when I got home. It was amazing.

When Jimmy got home from work, I said try this. It was like wow this is really good. He doesn’t drink bubbly. So my guess is even if someone doesn’t like bubbly they will like this sangria.

So that’s the dish from my kitchen to yours ????
