Autumn Fruit Punch


This fruity punch can be enjoyed warmed or chilled - depending on the weather and the mood. It's refreshing as a chilled sangria but also comforting as a warm mulled wine.

In the past I've made traditional Mulled Wine and several Infused Spirits.

The nutritional information below is just for the liquid - i.e. alcohol and juice. If the boozy fruit is also eaten, add a few more calories and grams of sugar!
