SRC: Apple Sangria


It's time for another Secret Recipe Club reveal!

Secret Recipe Club

This month I received Cafe Lynnylu. Her pictures are stunning!
It was really fun to look at all the different recipes and beautiful photos. After browsing I decided on Apple Sangria (originally from Cooking Light).  I love sangria and was excited to try this recipe- perfect for our Saturday evening cocktail. Ron and I really liked this recipe and the only this I would modify is to leave out the cloves because they were a bit strong for me. Thank you for a delicious new cocktail! Check out the other Secret Recipe Club participants below!

3 cups chopped macitosh apples
1/4 honey
1/2 cup apple cider liqure (or apple snapps)

  8. Hi Ashley,
    Thanks for the delicious version of my apple sangria! I'm so happy your family liked it! I agree-cloves can be overpowering and I would probably use just one or leave them out completely.
