This Fall Sangria is a festive and flavorful beverage perfect for autumn gatherings. It blends robust red wine with crisp apple cider, fresh fruit slices, and warm cinnamon sticks to create a refreshing, spiced drink that embodies the essence of fall.

Ingredients

Liquid Ingredients

  • 1 bottle (750ml) red wine (Malbec or Zinfandel)
  • 1½ cups apple cider
  • ¼ cup simple syrup

Spices

  • 2 whole cinnamon sticks

Fruits

  • ½ medium Gala or Fuji apple, cored and sliced
  • ½ medium Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced
  • ½ medium red pear, cored and sliced
  • ½ medium green pear, cored and sliced
  • ⅓ cup pomegranate seeds
  • ½ medium orange, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruits: Core and slice the Gala or Fuji apple, Granny Smith apple, red pear, green pear, and slice the orange thinly. Set aside the pomegranate seeds.
  2. Mix the Sangria Base: In a large pitcher, combine the bottle of red wine, apple cider, and simple syrup. Stir well to blend the flavors.
  3. Add Spices and Fruits: Add the two whole cinnamon sticks and all prepared sliced fruits along with the pomegranate seeds to the pitcher. Stir gently to distribute everything evenly.
  4. Chill and Infuse: Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the flavors of the fruits and cinnamon to infuse deeply into the sangria.
  5. Serve: Before serving, give the sangria a gentle stir. Serve chilled, optionally with additional ice or garnish with a cinnamon stick or fresh fruit slice.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup or substituting with honey.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute red wine with grape juice or a non-alcoholic red wine alternative.
  • Allowing the sangria to infuse overnight improves the depth of flavor.
  • Use fresh, firm fruit for the best texture and taste.
