Directions:
Place pears, tangerine, and cinnamon sticks in a very large pitcher or serving bowl (at least 2-quart capacity). Add moscato wine, and gently stir.

Apple Pie-tini
Entire recipe: 154 calories, <0.5g fat, 45mg sodium, 13g carbs, 0.5g fiber, 10.5g sugars, <0.5g protein -- PointsPlus® value 5*

If the word "appletini" makes you think of overly sweet electric-green sips, think again. This drink is perfection in a glass!

Ingredients:
1 low-fat graham cracker (1/4th of a sheet), finely crushed
6 oz. light apple juice drink (like the kind by Trop50 or Mott's), chilled
1 1/2 oz. vodka
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
Optional garnish: apple slice, cinnamon stick

Directions:
Place crushed graham crackers on a plate.

Wet the rim of a large martini glass with water. Turn the glass upside down, and press it into the crumbs, rotating so that the crumbs cover the rim.

In a shaker filled with ice, combine apple juice, vodka, and cinnamon.

Shake it up, and strain into the martini glass.
