Ingredients
Sparkling Fall Sangria
- 1 750ml bottle sparkling wine or prosecco
- 1 cup bourbon
- 4 cups apple cider
- 3 1/2 cup soda water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup lemon juice

- caramel and cinnamon sugar for garnish
- 1 large carving pumpkin
- 1 beverage tap
Instructions
Sparkling Fall Sangria
- Make the syrup. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and spices. Bring to just a simmer, stirring to melt the sugar, remove from heat.
- Make the sangria. In a large pitcher or beverage dispenser, slowly pour in the sparkling wine, fall spiced simple syrup, soda water, apple cider, apple cider, and lemon juice.
- Optional garnish: rim the glass with caramel then dip into cinnamon sugar.
How to Tap a Pumpkin
- Measure the tap. Trace where you’ll put the tap on the pumpkin and cut the top off the pumpkin.
- Remove the seeds. Remove the seeds and ‘guts’ of the pumpkin. Scrape the inside of the pumpkin well and wash it out so the tap won’t get clogged with pumpkin.
- Cut the hole for the tap. Using a small knife, cut the hole for the tap slightly smaller than the actual tap. It will be more work to push the tap through but you want it to be a tight fit so it doesn’t leak.
- Screw the tap in. Push the tap through the hole, tightly screwing the washer on the inside of the pumpkin.
- Serve. Fill with sparkling fall sangria and serve!
