Ingredients
- 1 bottle dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 2 fresh apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), sliced
- 1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 lime, sliced
- 1/4 cup brandy or orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 1-2 tablespoons simple syrup or honey (to taste)
- 1-2 whole cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1-2 cups club soda or sparkling water (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruits: Start by slicing the apples and oranges into thin rounds—and toss in the cranberries.
- Mix the Base: In a large pitcher, combine the white wine and the brandy or orange liqueur. Toss in the fruits and spices, stirring gently to mingle the flavors.
- Sweeten It Up: If you like your sangria a tad sweeter, drizzle in simple syrup or honey to taste.
- Chill: Cover the pitcher and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 240 minutes—or overnight, if you want the flavors to really soak in.
- Just Before Serving: Just as your guests arrive, add a splash of soda for that refreshing fizz. Stir gently.
- Garnish: Serve over ice with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like mint or rosemary for an aromatic touch.
- Enjoy: Pour into festive glasses and watch as your friends and family savor each sip.
Notes
Feel free to substitute ingredients based on availability or preference. Letting the sangria chill is crucial for the best flavor.
