FRIDAY COCKTAIL - AUTUMN SANGRIA!



I love a good sangria - especially red ones.  This combines such great fruits and molasses to be purely AUTUMN!  I may use this as my signature cocktail for Thanksgiving!

Ingredients:

2-3 fresh figs or 1 cup dried figs
2-3 fresh plums or 1 cup dried plums
2-3 fresh apricots or 1 cup dried apricots
1/4 cup molasses
1 750 ml bottle of light red wine like Pinot Noir or Gamay
1 750 ml bottle of sparkling apple cider or club soda, chilled
1 orange (peeled if you prefer) sliced

Halve or quarter the fruit and combine with the molasses.  Add the wine, stir to combine.  Cover and chill it for 2-24 hours.  When you are ready to serve, add sparkling apple cider and orange slices.  Gently stir and serve.  Makes 8 servings.

WINE TIME!
ENJOY!
