How to make: This drink is fairly simple to make. Pour in 3 oz. of prosecco, 1 oz. orange liqueur, 1 shot of vodka, and a splash of cranberry juice and mix. Then slice up some apples and add to your drink. For a picture perfect look, rim your glass using a lemon slice and a cinnamon sugar blend and throw in a cinnamon stick.
Why you’ll love it: This drink is perfectly sweet and reminiscent of fall. The lightness of the prosecco and the tanginess of the orange and cranberry flavors mix very well together.
