Picture this: a mix of crisp apples, fragrant spices, and sweet wine all swirling together in one fantastic pitcher. That’s what you can expect with this Apple Cider Sangria. It’s super easy to whip up and perfect for gatherings or just a chill night at home. Grab your ingredients, and let’s get it poppin’!
Ingredients
- 1 bottle of white wine (like Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc)
- 2 cups of apple cider
- 1 cup of club soda or ginger ale for some fizz
- 1 cup of sliced apples (any kind you like)
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1/2 cup of brandy (optional, but recommended for the kick!)
- 1-2 cinnamon sticks for that warm spice
- Ice cubes for serving
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. This is the fun part, and you can even involve the family to help out!
- In a large pitcher, combine the white wine and apple cider. Stir gently to mix.
- Add in the brandy, if you’re using it. It brings a nice depth to the flavors, trust me!
- Next, toss in those sliced apples and orange. Let’s add some color and sweetness to our potion!
- Now, drop in the cinnamon sticks. They’re gonna give it that warm, cozy vibe that we all love during the fall.
- Finally, cover the pitcher and let it chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you can wait that long. The longer it sits, the better the flavors meld together.
- When you’re ready to serve, add some ice cubes to your glasses and pour that beautiful sangria over the top.
- Top it off with club soda or ginger ale for a fizzy finish. Garnish with extra fruit slices if you want to get fancy!
