Ingredients
- 1 bottle sweet white wine such as Moscato or Riesling
- 1/2 cup White Cranberry Juice
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 1/4 cup spiced rum
- 1/4 cup orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier or Triple Sec
- 1/4 cup simple syrup
- 1/2 cup ginger ale or Sprite
- 1 whole apple diced; use a sweet variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji
- 1 whole pear sliced thinly
- 1/2 cup fresh cranberries frozen works too
- 1 whole orange thinly sliced into rounds
- 1/4 cup pomegranate arils
- 1 whole cinnamon stick
- Fresh rosemary sprigs optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Dice the apple, slice the pear thinly, and cut the orange into thin rounds.
- In a large pitcher, add the diced apple, sliced pear, cranberries, orange slices, and pomegranate arils. Toss in the cinnamon stick.
- Pour in the white wine, white cranberry juice, apple cider, spiced rum, orange liqueur, and simple syrup. Stir everything well to combine.
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to let the flavors blend.
- Before serving, give the sangria a good stir and taste it. If you'd like it sweeter, mix in a bit more simple syrup. Add the ginger ale or Sprite just before serving for a fizzy finish.
- Pour the sangria into glasses, making sure to include some of the fruit in each glass. Garnish each glass with a sprig of rosemary for a festive touch, if desired.
Notes
- Wine Selection: For a sweeter sangria, use Moscato or Riesling. If you prefer a less sweet option, try Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
- Make-Ahead Tip: This sangria tastes even better when made the day before, allowing the flavors to fully meld. Add the ginger ale or Sprite just before serving.
- Simple Syrup Adjustment: Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less simple syrup. Start with the listed amount and taste before serving.
- Fruit Options: Feel free to swap the fruits based on what’s available. Granny Smith apples can be used for a tart twist, and frozen cranberries work just as well as fresh.
- Serving Idea: For an extra festive presentation, rim the glasses with sugar. Simply dip the rim in water or orange juice, then in granulated sugar, and let dry before filling.
- Alcohol-Free Version: Substitute the wine with sparkling white grape juice, and omit the spiced rum and orange liqueur. Use a splash of orange juice instead.
