1 tbsp. red or green colored sugar (optional)
10 unpeeled orange wedges or chunks
5 unpeeled lime wedges or chunks
2/3 c. raspberry juice blend
1 (750 ml) bottle sparkling apple cider or sparkling pear-apple juice, chilled

You will need 5 (6-inch) wooden skewers.

Sprinkle colored sugar on a piece of waxed paper. Moisten the rims of five wine glasses, one at a time, with a little water. Dip each rim in sugar and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes to dry.

For fruit garnish, place 2 orange wedges and 1 lime wedge onto each skewer; set aside. Divide raspberry juice blend among prepared wine glasses. Being careful not to disturb the sugar on the rim, gently pour sparkling cider into each glass. Place a citrus skewer in each glass.

Makes 5 servings.
