Reviews
It would seem fall fruits (apple, pear, cranberry, persimmon, quince) would be a better choice than tropical fruit juice. As an adult, I don’t care if my alcoholic beverage has a fun seasonal color.
Substituted apple cider for a more seasonal taste, and used pancake syrup, which didn’t run. Orange color, and very tasty!
Not a fan. The flavors did not really go together very well. Also, if you choose to make this, use a very thick syrup for the garnish. We didn’t and it ran down the glasses and made for sticky fingers all night. Well, that is until one of us caved and went to the store for rum and cider..
This is seriously the best thing my husband and I have ever had as an alcoholic drink. And that’s saying something. We LOVE it. It IS a little tropical with the orange colored fruit juice, but that could be easily remedied with more pumpin spice liqueur, maybe with some cinnamon liqueur… or more of the pumpkin spice seasoning. WE LOVE IT!!
It was very tropical-tasting, which I did not expect, but the spice flavor from the liqueur (I used Hiram Walker brand and the spiced rim really came through at the end. It was a beautiful orange color, too. Next time I will use less juice and maybe a little more liqueur to see if it is more sangria-like.
