Liquid Ingredients
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1 bottle (750 ml) white wine
- 1/2 cup brandy
- 1/4 cup orange liqueur
Fruits & Spices
- 1 apple, sliced
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1/2 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Mix Liquids: In a large pitcher, combine the apple cider, white wine, brandy, and orange liqueur. Stir gently to blend all the flavors together.
- Add Fruits and Spice: Add the sliced apple, sliced orange, cranberries, and the cinnamon stick into the pitcher. These ingredients will infuse the sangria with fresh, fruity, and warm autumn notes.
- Chill: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together, creating a harmonious and delicious sangria.
- Serve: Serve the sangria chilled in glasses over ice, making sure each glass receives some of the fruit for added flavor and visual appeal. Enjoy immediately for a fresh and festive drink.
Notes
- For a stronger cinnamon flavor, let the cinnamon stick steep longer or use two sticks.
- Use a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for a balanced taste.
- If you prefer a sweeter sangria, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup before chilling.
- Can be prepared up to a day in advance and stored refrigerated.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute white wine and brandy with additional apple cider and orange juice.
