perfect for thanksgiving sparkling sake sangria
Y’all know I love a good themed sangria. And this one, is no exception.
Here we use fall fruits, persimmons and pomegranates, some thyme, local honey, and a sparkling sake to really round out the right flavors.
It tastes like fall in a glass.
Ingredients:
8 persimmons, bottom and tops removed, sliced
1/2 pomegranate, arils removed
1 tbsp local honey
8.5 fl oz bottle of sparkling sake
6.8 fl oz bottle of ginger beer
1 bottle of sparkling brut
4 sprigs of thyme, extra for glasses
Directions:
Add sliced persimmons and pomegranate arils to a pitcher. Add honey, sake, and ginger beer. Stir to combine. Add thyme.
Let sit in refrigerator for 4 - 8 hours before serving. Add sparkling wine and stir before serving.
Add additional thyme sprigs, some of the sliced persimmons and pomegranate arils to each glass.
