This cocktail recipe, from entertaining expert Katie Jacobs, makes a great addition to any fall get-together. In fact, it's a must-have at her annual autumn tailgate party at a pumpkin farm in Franklin, TN. We love her Caramel Apple Sangría not only because it's delicious, but because it serves a crowd and can easily be scaled up or down depending on the number of guests. The secret ingredient in this drink is the pecan-flavored vodka from Cathead Distillery, the oldest distillery in Mississippi. Jacobs likes to serve the sangria in an adorable glass Weck drink dispenser, but any dispenser will do, just make sure to chill the cocktail for 30 minutes before you serve it. Garnish servings with caramel-dipped apple slices for an extra sweet finishing touch.
