Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups white wine, Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc
  • 2 cups apple cider *see note below
  • ¼-½ cup brandy
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 apples, red and green
  • 1 orange
  • 4-5 cinnamon sticks
  • 3-4 star anise or whole cloves

Equipment

  • 1 63 oz. Pitcher *this is the one I used!

Method
 

  1. Add all ingredients to a large 63. oz pitcher.
  2. Slice apples and oranges and toss them in along with the cinnamon sticks, anise and cloves.
  3. Mix well and store in the fridge for at least one hour. Overnight is best to allow the flavors to get to know eachother!

Notes

*There is a difference between good apple cider and average apple cider. I've found that the best apple ciders are the ones that are not brand name and in glass bottles.
  • Feel free to add more or less maple syrup for a sweeter sangria.
  • Using a sweeter wine will make your sangria sweeter. I used a dry sauvignon blanc for this recipe.
