Cranberry Apple Cider Sangria
A festive and easy-to-make cocktail that combines apple cider, red or white wine, and fresh fruits, perfect for fall gatherings and Thanksgiving celebrations.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 bottle Red or White Wine Choose an affordable but drinkable option
- 4 cups Apple Cider Fresh cider is best for flavor
- 2 cups Cranberries Fresh or frozen
- 2 medium Apples Sliced thinly
- 3-4 sticks Cinnamon Sticks For added warmth
- 1-2 cups Ginger Beer or Club Soda For fizz, add just before serving
- to taste Maple Syrup or Honey Optional for sweetness
Instructions
Preparation
- Take your biggest pitcher or a clear drink dispenser and add the wine, apple cider, cranberries (and a few mashed ones for extra flavor), and apple slices.
- Drop in the cinnamon sticks. If you're sweetening, add maple syrup little by little, stirring and tasting as you go.
- Give it a good mix, cover, and pop it in the fridge. Let it sit for at least two hours, but overnight is pure magic.
Serving
- When you’re ready to serve, top with ginger beer for some bubbly action, and provide a spoon so guests can scoop their own boozy fruit.
Notes
For festive garnishes, use thin apple or pear slices, rosemary sprigs, fresh cranberries, or sugar the rim of the glasses if desired. For large batches, double or triple the ingredients and retain some fruit to add just before serving.
