Amazing Drinking of Thanksgiving "Sparkling Apple Cider Sangria" Non-Alcoholic Version



I simply sliced the apples into matchsticks rather than the cubes for a more traditional rustic sangria, and then I added some pomegranate seeds for a stunning presentation and a nice touch of tartness. The recipe looks sophisticated but it's simple, and that's something we can all be grateful for with the endless to- do list during the holidays.

Break out your pitcher or punch bowl and stir up a sangria perfect for giving thanks in less time than it takes to baste the turkey. 

 

Ingredients
 
  • 2 apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups apple cider 
  • 750ml bottle seltzer water or club soda.
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds

Direction
  1. Add the apples to a large pitcher reserving about 1/2 cup for garnishing. Add the cognac, apple cider, and chilled cava. Stir.
  2. Fill the pitcher with ice. Pour the sangria into glasses filled with ice and top with sliced apple and pomegranate seeds.
