Perfect for Crisp Autumn Days
There’s something about fall in Wisconsin Dells that calls for a great seasonal cocktail. Crisp air, changing leaves, football weekends, bonfires, and gatherings with friends make it the perfect time to trade those summer drinks for flavors that feel a little more like autumn.
If you’re looking for an easy cocktail to serve at your next fall get-together, Cranberry Vanilla Fall Sangria deserves a spot on the menu!

Made for Fall Entertaining
One of the best things about sangria is how easy it is to make for a group. Prepare most of it ahead of time, let it chill, and simply add the ginger ale when your guests arrive.
It’s a great choice for Packers parties, fall get-togethers, bonfires, Thanksgiving celebrations, or a relaxing Wisconsin weekend with friends.
