Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750ml) dry red wine (like Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon)
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup brandy or triple sec
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 apple, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 pear, cored and thinly sliced
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1/4 cup cranberries (optional)
  • Sparkling water or club soda, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine red wine, apple cider, brandy, and orange juice in a large pitcher.
  2. Add the sliced orange, apple, and pear to the pitcher.
  3. Tuck in the cinnamon sticks and cranberries, if using.
  4. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  5. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. To serve, pour the sangria into glasses filled with ice. Top with a splash of sparkling water or club soda if desired.
  7. Garnish with fresh fruit slices.

Notes

  • For a white sangria version, use a dry white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc and add lemon slices.
  • To make a nonalcoholic version, replace the wine with more apple cider and a splash of cranberry juice.
  • This sangria can be made ahead of time, making it ideal for parties.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding a touch of maple syrup or honey if desired.
