Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 cinnamon stick with more for serving
  • 2 apples sliced thinly, medium, Honeycrisp or Gala
  • 1 pear thinly sliced, medium
  • 1 orange sliced, medium navel
  • 2/3 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1 white wine 750 mL bottle
  • 2 cups apple cider 480 mL, pressed, the opaque kind
  • 1/4 cup apple brandy 60 mL
  • club soda for serving, or ginger beer

Instructions

  1. Place the cinnamon sticks, apples, orange segments, pomegranate seeds, and pears into a large pitcher or carafe.
  2. Add the white wine, apple cider, and apple brandy to the pitcher and stir with a long-handled wooden spoon to mix well. Allow the sangria to sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. You can make this up to 3 days in ahead of time.
  3. To serve, top the pitcher with club soda and stir it in. Garnish each wine glass with a cinnamon stick, if desired.

Notes

  • A mandoline makes slicing up all those fruits so much easier.
  • Grab frozen pomegranate arils instead of doing it yourself. They're also fabulous in fruit salads and Christmas drinks, too!
  • I know I have to say it: DON'T SWAP THE APPLE CIDER FOR APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. They're not the same thing! One is cloudy apple juice, the other is literal VINEGAR!
  • To make this a mocktail, keep out the wine and brandy and use more sparkling apple cider instead.
