How to Store Caramel Apple Sangria

Tips to Make Caramel Apple Sangria

• Use Chilled Ingredients: Start with chilled moscato and apple cider. This will help the sangria stay cool longer.
• Play with Flavors: Feel free to experiment with different types of apples or try adding a splash of your favorite juice for new flavors.
• Adjust Sweetness: If you like it sweeter, add more caramel vodka or even a tablespoon of honey.

Variation (If Any)

For a non-alcoholic version, you can skip the vodkas and use sparkling apple cider instead of moscato. This will create a similar tasty drink without the alcohol.
