Apple Sparkle Cider

Ingredients
1 tablespoon red or green colored sugar (optional)
10 unpeeled orange wedges or chunks
5 unpeeled lime wedges or chunks
5 6-inch wooden skewers
2/3 cup raspberry juice blend
1 750 ml bottle sparkling apple cider or sparkling pear-apple juice, chilled

Directions
1. 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.

2. For fruit garnish, place 2 orange wedges and 1 lime wedge onto each skewer; set aside.

3. 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.
