Wow! Today felt like a Monday! It started bad with some bad news, the Internet has sucked all day (damn you, AT&T!), and any slight thing that could go wrong, did go wrong. So I came home and made this Cran-Apple Cider Sangria. Just because!Actually, I made it because I needed to put something in my super cute DIY Halloween Wine Glasses, but also because I needed a drink! I’m not gonna lie, I’m ready to go to bed, so I’m going to keep this short, give you the recipe, post a few more photos and leave it at that!

- 1 tsp cloves (optional)

Instructions
- If you would like, you can mull the apple cider in a sauce pan over medium heat with the cinnamon sticks, cloves, ginger, cranberries, and some orange juice from the orange slices. Strain out the cinnamon sticks and cloves when done mulling. If not mulling, just ignore the cloves and ginger from the ingredients list.
