Copycat Applebee's Red Apple Sangria
Description
This copycat recipe recreates the Red Apple Sangria by combining cabernet sauvignon with apple-flavored liqueur, grenadine syrup, cranberry juice cocktail, and pineapple juice. The mixture is poured over ice in a glass and topped with lemon-lime soda for fizz. Fresh garnishes of melon-balled green apple, orange and lime wedges, and maraschino cherries add color and complementary flavors.
The drink delivers a layered fruity profile, from the rich cabernet base to the sweet apple and grenadine notes, balanced with tartness from cranberry and pineapple juices. The soda provides bubbles that lighten the beverage and make it refreshing. Garnishes contribute citrus brightness and visual appeal.
This sangria is suited for individual servings or larger gatherings. To make for a crowd, combine the ingredients in a pitcher, chill, and serve over ice topped with soda and garnishes. The recipe is credited to Todd Wilbur from TopSecretRecipes.com.
