I’m getting to that point in my life where every party isn’t about drinking. My friends are getting pregnant and others are cutting back. Whatever the reason it’s great to offer variety at your gatherings. This year at the #HunkiedorieHarvestParty I offered two Non-Alcoholic options this NA Sangria and an NA Sparkling Apple Punch (recipe coming soon). The NA Sangria was such a hit with everyone, a couple of my friends were pregnant and my sister doesn’t drink so it was great to have an option for them. I also had some friends inform me that the sangria was a perfect mixer for the beverages they had brought. If I were to make this an alcoholic version I think it would be fun to sub sparkling wine for the water.
