This sweet spiced apple cider sangria is nice and light, a little bubbly, a tad sweet, and an absolutely perfect excuse to celebrate the season.

Time 6h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 750 ml bottle of white wine (I like something light, fruity, and not too sweet. Pinot grigio is perfect for this sangria)
3 cups apple cider
3/4 cup light rum (the clear rum)
3 - 4 medium apples (I like the colorful combo of honeycrisp, red delicious, golden delicious, and granny smith, cored and sliced)
3 2- inch orange peels (use a carrot peeler and try to avoid as much pith - the white part - as possible)
4 3- inch cinnamon sticks
2 teaspoons whole cloves
1 teaspoon whole allspice
2 12- ounce bottles of ginger beer

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients except ginger ale to a 2.5-quart or larger pitcher. Cover with airtight lid or cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to 24 hours.
  • If desired, remove fruit and pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to strain out the spices and orange peel. Discard spices and orange peel and return liquid and apples to the pitcher. Personally, I like having the cloves and allspice bob around in each glass, so I don't strain, but you do have to be careful to dodge the whole spices when drinking it.
  • Pour liquid into glasses about halfway. Add apple slices until glass is about 3/4 full. Top off with ginger beer. Serve with a straw.

SPARKLING APPLE CIDER SANGRIA

Great to serve at Thanksgiving. Notes from the chef: Cave or Prosecco is great for the bubbly. The VS cognac compliments the apples with its notes of caramel and vanilla, and it makes your cider into a cocktail suited for the adults at your gathering. This sangria skips the sugar because the apple cider is sweet enough. Slice the apples into matchsticks rather than the cubes for a more traditional rustic sangria, and then I added some pomegranate seeds for a stunning presentation and a nice touch of tartness. The recipe looks sophisticated but it's simple, and that's something we can all be grateful for with the endless to do list during the holidays. Source: http://www.thekitchn.com/

From selecting the right wine to choosing complementary fruits, here are some valuable tips for making the perfect apple cider sangria recipe.

Choosing the Right Wine

One of the most important elements of apple cider sangria is selecting the right wine. You'll want to choose a red wine that complements the flavors of apple cider, rather than overpowering it. Here are a few types of red wine that work well in apple cider sangria:
Merlot
Merlot is a medium-bodied red wine that has a smooth and fruity taste. It has a low tannin level, which makes it an excellent choice for sangria. Merlot pairs well with the natural sweetness of apple cider and won't overpower the other flavors in your sangria.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and full-bodied red wine that has a high tannin level. This wine is best for those who prefer a stronger taste in their sangria. Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep, rich flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of apple cider.
Zinfandel

Choosing the Right Fruits

The combination of fruit you choose for your apple cider sangria is crucial to the overall flavor of the beverage. You want to choose fruits that complement the flavors of the apple cider and wine. Here are a few fruits that work well in apple cider sangria:
Apples
Apples are the star ingredient in apple cider sangria, and for a good reason. They pair perfectly with the natural sweetness of apple cider and add a delicious crunch to every sip.
Oranges
Oranges are an excellent choice for apple cider sangria since they add a bright, citrusy flavor. The tanginess of the oranges balances out the sweetness of the apple cider and creates a well-rounded flavor profile.
Cranberries
Cranberries add a tart and tangy flavor to apple cider sangria. They also add a beautiful pop of color to your drink. You can use fresh or frozen cranberries in your sangria for the best results.

Adding a Kick of Spices

To take your apple cider sangria to the next level, consider adding some warm, seasonal spices. These spices will give your drink a cozy, comforting feel that is perfect for fall. Here are a few spices that work well in apple cider sangria:
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a classic spice that pairs perfectly with apple cider. It adds a sweet and warm flavor that complements the other ingredients in your sangria.
Nutmeg
Nutmeg has a warm and slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with apple cider. It adds a cozy touch to your sangria, making it the perfect drink for a chilly autumn evening.
Cloves
Cloves have a tangy and slightly bitter taste that can balance out the sweetness of apple cider. They add a warm, spicy flavor to your sangria that is perfect for fall.

Choosing the Right Glassware

When it comes to serving apple cider sangria, the glassware you choose can make a big difference in the presentation of your drink. A traditional wine glass works well for serving sangria, but you can also get creative with your glassware choices. Mason jars, stemless wine glasses, or even a punch bowl can be used to serve apple cider sangria.

Serving Tips

Once you've crafted the perfect apple cider sangria recipe, there are a few serving tips to keep in mind. Here are some valuable tips for serving apple cider sangria:
Chill Your Sangria
Apple cider sangria is best served chilled so that the flavors are crisp and refreshing. To get the most out of your sangria, be sure to chill it before serving.
Add Ice at the Last Minute
Adding ice to your apple cider sangria can dilute the flavors, so it's best to wait until the last minute to add ice. This ensures that the flavors are not watered down, and your drink will be as flavorful as possible.
Garnish Your Glass
Garnishing your apple cider sangria is an excellent way to add an extra touch of elegance to your drink. You can garnish your glass with a small apple slice, orange peel, or even a cinnamon stick. In conclusion, apple cider sangria is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for fall.
