Fall Cider Sangria (Non-Alcoholic)
Everyone in the family will enjoy this non-alcoholic version of the popular Spain-inspired cocktail. We made our Sangria with sweet cider and tangy pomegranate juice. We loaded it with lots of crisp Golden and Red Delicious apple slices. Serve this cider sangria warm or over ice and enjoy  any time of the year.
