Ingredients

1 bottle (750 mL) chilled unoaked Chardonnay
2 cups fresh-pressed apple cider (Not apple juice. Look for this in the refrigerated section of fresh produce.)
½ cup your favorite Bourbon
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon orange bitters, such as Fee Brothers
2 medium-sized firm, tart-sweet apples
6 sprigs fresh thyme, plus one sprig for each individual drink
2 bottles (12 ounces each) chilled Angry Orchard "Crisp Cider" hard cider

Instructions

In a large pitcher, stir together Chardonnay, fresh-pressed apple cider, Bourbon, lemon juice, and orange bitters.
Slice apples (do not peel) thinly, crosswise, to get apple rings. Discard any seeds and then cut rings in half. Add apple slices and 6 thyme sprigs to pitcher. Place pitcher in refrigerator to chill and let flavors mingle for 2-4 hours.
Right before serving, stir in the hard cider. Taste sangria and adjust if desired - adding more apple cider, Bourbon, and/or bitters, to taste.
Fill individual glasses ⅔-full with crushed ice and pour sangria over ice. Add a few apple slices and a fresh sprig of thyme to each glass. Enjoy!
