Directions: 

1. Fill four glasses half way with ice.

 This drink only requires three ingredients and couldn’t be more simple.

But it is absolutely gorgeous and completely delicious! 

 For this sangria inspired drink I decided to use two popular winter fruits: apples and cranberries. 

Even better, they are Christmas colors!

 Originally I was going to use sparkling apple juice and add cranberry juice but I got lucky and found sparkling apple cranberry juice at the store! 

Add a hand full of ice to each glass.

 Thinly slice {do not peel}a tart green apple. 

 Now add a few slices of apple and a scoop or two of fresh cranberries to the glasses.

 Fill the glasses with the sparkling apple cranberry juice,

 How pretty are these? 

 This is a festive drink the whole family can enjoy!
