Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750ml) dry red wine
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 1/4 cup orange liqueur
  • 1 apple, thinly sliced
  • 1 pear, thinly sliced
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1/4 cup fresh cranberries (optional)
  • Sparkling water or club soda, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large pitcher, combine the red wine, apple cider, brandy, and orange liqueur.
  2. Add the sliced apple, pear, orange, cinnamon sticks, and cranberries (if using).
  3. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. To serve, fill glasses with ice. Pour the sangria over the ice, leaving the fruit and cinnamon sticks in the pitcher.
  6. Top with a splash of sparkling water or club soda.
  7. Garnish with a fresh slice of orange or apple if desired.

Notes

  • For a white wine version, use a crisp white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.
  • To make a nonalcoholic version, substitute white grape juice or more apple cider for the wine and omit the brandy and orange liqueur.
  • This sangria can be made up to 2 days in advance. The flavors will deepen over time.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding a touch of maple syrup or simple syrup if desired.
