Sweater Weather, But Make It a Spritz

Fall is the perfect excuse to switch up your wine routine a little. This easy Sweater Weather Caramel Apple Spritz takes our Dixiana (Off-Dry Traminette) and adds some of our favorite fall flavors—apple cider, caramel, cinnamon, and a little ginger ale for some fizz.

Dixiana’s fruity, slightly sweet profile works especially well with the crisp apple cider and caramel, while the ginger ale keeps it light and refreshing. Add a cinnamon-sugar rim, and you’ve got an easy fall cocktail that tastes a little like an apple cider treat—but is definitely meant for sipping.

The Sweater Weather Caramel Apple Spritz comes together in just a few minutes, making it a great option for a cozy evening at home, a fall gathering, or enjoying on the porch while the weather cools down. Basically, it’s everything we like about fall in one glass. 🍎🍷
