The Autumn Kitchen || Mabon Sangria

Mabon is the second of the 3 main Harvest festivals and it’s a time to feel grateful for all that the land has provided. The main reason I first turned towards Paganism is I felt a desire to live a life more in harmony with nature and the seasonal rhythms. Celebrating the seasons is one of my favorite activities and I love planning out meals and drinks which focus on seasonal ingredients.

Some consider Mabon to be the witches' Thanksgiving, which means it’s best celebrated with friends and family. While eventually I do hope to find a Pagan community where I live, for right now you guys reading this are my Pagan community and I’m excited to share with you one of my favorite cocktail recipes for celebrating this Equinox. So get yourself a glass and I hope you’ll join me in making some Mabon Sangria so that we can toast the season together.

MABON SANGRIA

Ingredients
1 bottle dry white wine
1 cup apple cider
1/2 cup apple butter
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 T maple syrup
1 sliced apple
1 sliced orange
1/2 C pomegranate arils
1 ginger beer
star anise & cinnamon sticks for garnish

Instructions

1) Add your wine to a pitcher and then add the other ingredients (except ginger beer & garnishes)

2) Give it all a stir and place it in the fridge till it’s chilled.

3) Right before you're ready to serve add in the ginger beer so it gets extra fizzy. Then pour the sangria in glasses and add any extra garnishes you’d like. Cheers!

I hope you enjoyed this post & video and I want to wish you all a wonderful Autumn Equinox!
