PHOTO: LINDA PUGLIESE; FOOD STYLING: BEN WEINERThis sangria upgrade is literally a little bit of this, a little bit of that with a top off of everyone's favorite soda—an ice cold Coca-Cola. The kalimotxo took the interweb by storm earlier this year, giving “sophisticated sangria” vibes as a composed cocktail. For this punch, grab that red wine you haven't used and some Coca-Cola, and get ready for a crowd-pleaser.

11Figgy Spritz
PHOTO: MURRAY HALL; FOOD STYLING: TAYLOR ANN SPENCERThis summer, our go-to cocktail was the minty and refreshing Hugo Spritz that was a low ABV (alcohol by volume) drink that celebrates the beautiful marriage of sweet summer herbs, sparkling wine, and elderflower liqueur. As per usual, we took that same equation of a delicious herbaceous spritz cocktail, but we included a woodsy rosemary sprig and fig syrup to welcome fall’s rich earthy flavors and make the easiest large format cocktail that will impress everyone at your holiday table. Thanksgiving’s aperitivo hour just got a delicious upgrade.
