Confession time – My intention for this recipe was to be Skinny Apple Cinnamon Sangria. I had BIG plans.
I was going to stroll down to Whole Foods, pick up a couple bottles of Zevia Sparkling Apple Cider and make this recipe not only gluten free, dairy free, vegan and skinny but also sugar free.
It was going to be super awesome.
But, then my plan flew out the window when I searched all over the city for the Zevia Sparkling Apple Cider and couldn’t find it. My husband and I still really wanted this recipe with out Thanksgiving meal so I decided to make it and we would just have a glass or two for our dessert.
So, this Cozy Apple Cinnamon Sangria recipe will contain natural sugar from the apple cider but if you only have a glass or two it is a wonderful treat.
