Apple Cinnamon Sangria

If warm apple pie was to transform itself into a cold refreshing cocktail, this would be the result. It’s crisp and cool, just like Fall, and it gives the perfect balance of apple and cinnamon flavors. Sangria is one of my favorite adult drinks and I absolutely loved this Autumn twist with cinnamon schnapps. This cocktail is elegant enough to serve to guests, easy enough to throw together for a night at home with a good book, and fun enough to pour into a thermos and bring tailgating. Good for any occasion and only 103 calories or 3 Weight Watchers Points+ per glass!

I hope you love it as much as I do. Cheers!
