Y'all. there is nothing better than the cooler temps, crunchy leaves, and cuddling up in your favorite sweater enjoying the warm glow of your favorite fall candle to get us hyped up for our favorite season, and now that our first Fall Collection has dropped, we're officially in the mood for #AllThingsFall.
One of our returning favorites to the line up this year is our Pomegranate Cider candle, which was actually the very first fragrance we ever created for Candelles and one that will always have a special place in our hearts. (Did you know that we number all of our scents? Peek the number on the label the next time you light up your favorite everyday candle to see!). We're always saying that our candles smell good enough to eat, and the spicy yet fruity fragrance of Pomegranate Cider was just begging to be turned into our latest #CandellesConcoction so folks, we hope you're ready because today we're serving up a truly delicious, beautifully balanced cocktail to make all of your dreams come true: Pomegranate Cider Punch!
Just like our Pomegranate Cider candle, this punch boasts a burst of fresh fruity flavor from apples and pomegranate and seasonal spices like cinnamon and nutmeg paired with a smooth and smoky bourbon for a delicious cocktail you'll want to sip on all season long! This festive punch is perfect for sharing with a group of pals as you watch your favorite seasonal movies, or for a dreamy date night in with your boo and is best enjoyed in your repurposed Candelles can vessels which we truly believe make the dreamiest drinkware (you can find our tutorial for repurposing your candle vessels once they've seen their last light here).
So, without further ado, let's get making!
