Autumnal sparkling sangria in a wine glass garnished with orange wheels.

Autumnal Sparkling Sangria

As the air grows crisp and the trees glow with autumn’s golden hues, there’s no better way to celebrate the season than with a drink that embodies its warmth and vibrance. This Autumnal Sparkling Sangria weaves together jewel-like pomegranate arils, a lively hint of ginger, and the botanical effervescence of Elderberry Maqui Sparkling Botanicals, finished with fragrant dried orange wheels. Whether shared around a bonfire or savored indoors, it’s a festive toast to the beauty of fall.
