This sangria is THE drink to make this fall. I highly recommend doubling the recipe because everyone will want more than one glass of this delicious concoction made with red wine, brandy, cinnamon, apple cider, citrus, and, of course, sweet honeycrisp apples.
Prep: 5min
Total: 6h
Yield: 6
Ingredients:
- 3 cinnamon sticks (plus more for garnish)
- 2 honeycrisp apples, chopped
- 1 orange, thinly sliced
- 1 (750 ml) bottle of red wine (I advise a Spanish variety with a light body)
- 1 and 3/4 cups homemade apple cider or store-bought*
- 1/2 cup brandy
- 1/4 cup orange juice (or juice from 2 medium oranges)
- juice from 1 lemon
- club soda, to taste
Instruction:
- In a large pitcher, add the cinnamon sticks, apples, and orange slices. Add wine, apple cider, brandy, orange juice, and lemon juice. Allow to rest in the fridge for six to twenty-four hours. After tasting, add 1-2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, honey, or agave nectar if you want it to be sweeter.
- Simply wet the rim of your glasses with water, turn them upside down, and dip them into a mixture of cinnamon and sugar if you want a cinnamon-sugar rim (highly recommended). Pour the fruit-infused sangria into the glass and top with a splash of club soda (this fizzy water doesn’t overpower the sangria!). Garnish with a cinnamon stick, if desired. Cheers!.
