Happy Thanksgiving!
A Festive Fall Sangria
This festive fall sangria is the perfect sip for autumn, made with deep red wine, fresh apple cider, spicy cinnamon, and seasonal fruits.
Ingredients
Sangria
- 1 750 mL Bottle Garnacha, or Spanish Red Wine
- 1/2 Cup Bitter Amaro
- 1 1/2 Cups Farm Fresh Apple Cider
- Juice from 1 Cara Cara Orange
- Slices from 1 Cara Cara Orange
- 1 Seasonal Fall Apple sliced
- 1 Cup Cranberries
- 1-2 Cinnamon Sticks
Honey Simple Syrup
- 1/4 Cup Honey
- 1/4 Cup Water
Instructions
- To make the honey simple syrup, add the honey and the water to a small saucepan and heat up on medium-low heat until the honey has “melted” into the water. When done, let cool slightly before adding to the sangria.
- In a large pitcher (or similarly large vessel), combine the Garnacha, Amaro, cooled honey simple syrup, and apple cider.
- Squeeze in the juice from 1 Cara Cara orange, and add in the other orange slices, apple slices, cinnamon sticks, and cranberries.
- Mix well.
- For best results, let everything “sit” in the fridge for at least an hour. (This helps the flavors of the fruit infuse into the sangria!)
- When ready to serve, ladle into glasses and garnish with fresh orange slices.
- Enjoy!
Notes
I didn’t put a serving size here because everybody enjoys their sangria in different quantities! But if I had to guess, this sangria will yield about 8-10 moderately-poured wine glasses.
P.S.
