When summer comes strolling by most people can be found either lounging pool side or on a lawn chair sipping on a long, cool cocktail. Maybe it’s a martini, a cosmo, or a Moscow mule. It doesn’t really matter, everyone has their favourite summertime drink, but here’s the thing- summertime isn’t always around. Luckily for you NetFlorist is always around!

But because you don’t actually have to wait for summer to enjoy a cocktail I’ve decided to give you an amazing winter warmer cocktail to enjoy at your next braai or dinner party.
Sparkling Apple Cider Sangria
Serves 8
2 apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 cup cognac
2 cups apple cider
750 ml bottle cava (or other dry sparkling wine), chilled
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
Add the apples to a large pitcher reserving about 1/2 cup for garnishing. Add the cognac, apple cider, and chilled cava. Stir.
Fill the pitcher with ice. Pour the sangria into glasses filled with ice and top with sliced apple and pomegranate seeds.
Recipe Notes:
Non-Alcoholic Version: You can easily make this a non-alcoholic sangria by removing the cognac and replacing the Cava with sparkling water or club soda.
So there you go- some winter warmers and summer flower cocktails to enjoy!
