Equipment

  • Large pitcher: Big enough to hold all the ingredients.
  • Mixing spoon: For stirring everything together.
  • Measuring cups and spoons: To get the quantities just right.
  • Knife and cutting board: For chopping the fruits.
  • Refrigerator: To chill the sangria before serving.

Ingredients

Here's what you'll need for this tasty drink:

  • 1 bottle of white wine I love using Sauvignon Blanc
  • 2 cups of apple cider
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 1 apple thinly sliced
  • 1 orange thinly sliced
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 cloves
  • 1/4 cup honey optional, for extra sweetness

These ingredients blend together perfectly, making the sangria taste like a festival of flavors 🍏

Instructions

  • Slice the Fruits: Start by slicing the apple and orange into thin pieces.
  • Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, add the wine, apple cider, and brandy.
  • Add Spices and Fruits: Drop in the cinnamon stick, cloves, apple, and orange slices.
  • Sweeten to Taste: If you prefer a sweeter drink, stir in the honey.
  • Mix Well: Stir all the ingredients together until well mixed.
  • Chill: Place the pitcher in the fridge for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld together.
  • Serve: Pour into glasses, making sure to get some fruit and spices in each serving.

The chilling step is key for the best flavor, so don't skip it ❄️.

    Notes

    Variations: You can use red wine if you prefer, or even a rosé.
    Storage: This sangria can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
