Happy Halloween - Pumpkin Spice Sangria

The perfect holiday: no family obligations, no religious connotations, no Superbowl to fret about, just plain old carousing. As a bonus, folks can wear disguises and act out their fantasies without it being them.

It's a good excuse to buy decorations for the front yard as well as decking the halls with images of ghosties and ghouls.

When Halloween falls on Saturday night, that's a bonus.

Pumpkin Spice Halloween Punch
from: HGTV


2 honeycrisp apples
2 pears
1 orange
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar, or more to taste
1 cup bourbon
3 cups apple cider
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 bottles pinot grigio, chilled
1 pumpkin, for serving (optional)

Directions

Thinly slice apples, pears and oranges lengthwise, then place in a large bowl. Coat with lemon juice to prevent browning. Add honey, brown sugar, bourbon, apple cider and pumpkin pie spice, stirring gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours, or overnight. Top with chilled pinot grigio and serve.

For Serving

Serve in a pitcher or punch bowl, or give the punch extra Halloween flavor by serving inside a Jack O' Lantern. Cut a circle in the top of a large pumpkin, then completely remove seeds and pulp. Fill with fruit and punch. Decorate the outside using a silver paint marker.

My favorite fall drink is hot spiced cider, followed closely by hot spiced wine.
