Apple Cider Sangria.
Want to know what I’m thinking today?
Besides how giddy I am that Scott Speedman is back on cable television?
And besides how I don’t know if I can handle not ever knowing WHAT happened to Mark Sloan on Grey’s?
That this week deserves a big, cold glass of sangria.
It has been… a week. Uh huh. And it was “a week” AFTER I had this sangria last weekend. Fair? I think not.
Sooooo. You know, I’m all about the chilly weather cocktails. Last year I made pomegranate vanilla sangria along with apple cider margaritas, and now I’m like why didn’t I ever just make apple cider sangria? I don’t know. Sometimes I am just totally clueless.
Oh and I’m also freaking out over the fact that pomegranate season is HERE! Only one of my favorite fruits, um… EVER.
But it’s not about poms today, it’s all about the apples. I guess it’s been all about the apples all week, yes? Huh. Sorta crazy over them.
They only get better in sangria. Trust me.

This sounds awesome! I’m going to try this for my Pampered Chef party this weekend. I was thinking, would you try this with hard cider?

I substituted Ginger Beer (Ginger Ale would work too) for the soda water. Gave the drink a great taste!

I used regular brandy because that was all I had and sprinkled in a healthy dose of cinnamon! Next time I’ll pick up some cinnamon sticks!!! Very delish!!

I did not use brandy and used ginger ale instead of club soda. I used a Reisling wine. Everyone is calling for the recipe after my party. Had to keep making over and over.,thanks for the recipe.
This was delicious! Made this as our Thanksgiving Day drink. Made it the night before without any issues. In fact, I made a second batch the day of. Yum!

I made this last night. It’s pretty good. Next time I’m going to make it a day early so that the apple & pear taste is better extracted into the liquid.
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a raging sucess!!! If you’re thinking about it you should just make it!! I followed the instructions exactly. I did buy a really cheap wine though, but everyone said they liked it.

I made this and it was incredibly delicious. I did it almost as written except that I used a sparkling apple cider and poured that and the club soda in just before serving to maintain the fizz. It made for a really crisp and delicious drink, a perfect cold weather sangria. I’m also wondering if some hard cider might be delicious in it as well instead of fresh (especially for those who are looking for the drink to pack more of a punch).
Quite delicious! I’ve always been a fan of the Sangria Flora from Food & Wine and this recipe is definitely up there as well.
I made this tonight and it was AWESOME! I couldn’t find ginger brandy so I just added some ginger to the brandy before adding it. And….I had no clue where to find fresh apple cider and had to use instant and it this sangria still got rave reviews! Thanks so much for sharing.

Ginger produces a hot, fragrant kitchen spice.[5] Young ginger rhizomes are juicy and fleshy with a very mild taste. They are often pickled in vinegar or sherry as a snack or just cooked as an ingredient in many dishes. They can also be steeped in boiling water to make ginger tea, to which honey is often added; sliced orange or lemon fruit may also be added. Ginger can also be made into candy, or ginger wine which has been made commercially since 1740…

Would Riesling work for this? I prefer a sweeter wine, I saw someone mention they needed to add a simple syrup to sweeten it up… Thoughts?
no.
For the past few years since making this recipe I have used an apple cranberry wine from a local vineyard and it woks fabulously!
