Those dreaded words for any busy human with friends: "It's a potluck! Bring something to share!"

Awesome. You know it will be fun when you get there, but if you can barely keep toilet paper inventory in your apartment- thinking of something unique to bring to a party can be a challenge. If you don't want to be the notorious "Chip Guy" or "Paper Plate Girl," I have a little something to amp up any get-together in the fall.

Here's a video tutorial I recorded on the spot (with the help of my dog Furgie!) for Caramel Apple Sangria:

If you're wanting this recipe, but you're sitting on the toilet at work and don't want to play the video above, I will kindly include it:

Ingredients:

Apple Cider

Pinot Grigio or any white wine

Caramel Vodka

Optional ingredient: Cinnamon Whiskey or Fireball

Also optional: Chopped apples (I choose to not use these because the apples soak up a lot of the alcohol.)

Instructions:

Disclaimer- I do not use measuring tools in the kitchen because I hate doing dishes. Why would I add more?

1) Whatever glass or container you're filling...fill 1/4 of it with the caramel vodka.

2) Take the pinot grigio and bring the glass to half full. So, 1/4 caramel vodka and 1/4 wine.

3) If you choose to use cinnamon whiskey, add a splash of that in.

4) Fill the rest with apple cider.

5) Do a taste test! If you need more kick, add cinnamon whiskey. If it's too sweet, add more pinot grigio. If it's too dry, add more apple cider. If you can't taste caramel, add more caramel vodka.

6) Get your drank on and enjoy!
