What to serve when a dear friend is leaving town? An impromptu farewell party needed
a signature drink for toasting. The weather was too cool for summery margaritas and
Bellinis but not cold enough for hot buttered rum and eggnog. A spiced sangria came
to the rescue—a combination of a fruity Spanish white wine, spiced apple cider, touch of
