Sangria is such a great drink to make when you're hosting people: you make a big batch so you don't have to assemble cocktails on the fly, you have to make it in advance, and it's a wonderful way to put a spotlight on seasonal produce to make any gathering feel festive. This apple cider sangria is the perfect example; with apple cider, fresh apples and oranges and raspberries and a few cinnamon sticks, it's just about as autumnal as a drink can get.
