Ingredients
  

For the Sangria
  • 1 bottle dry red wine
  • 1 cup bourbon
  • 1 cup apple cider or non-alcoholic apple juice for a mocktail
  • 1 each apple thinly sliced
  • 1 each orange freshly sliced
  • 3 each cinnamon sticks
  • 2 slices fresh ginger optional
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary optional for garnish

Equipment

  • Large glass jar or carafe
  • Measuring Cup
  • Ice cubes

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large glass jar or carafe, pour in a bottle of dry red wine, followed by a measuring cup of bourbon and a generous cup of apple cider. Add thinly sliced apples and oranges, ensuring the fruit is evenly distributed. Toss in a few cinnamon sticks and a couple of slices of fresh ginger for that warm spice.
  2. Once all the ingredients are combined, cover the jar tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours—ideally overnight—to allow the flavors to mingle beautifully.
  3. Fill each glass with ice cubes, creating a refreshing base for your Easy Fall Sangria. Pour the chilled sangria over the ice, allowing the fruit slices to cascade into the glass.
  4. If you prefer a sparkling finish, top each glass with a splash of seltzer before serving. Stir gently to combine, adding a bubbly and festive touch.
  5. Reserve a few slices of apple and orange, along with extra cinnamon sticks, to garnish the glasses. If you have fresh rosemary, add a sprig to each glass for an aromatic flourish.

Notes

For best flavor, let the sangria sit in the fridge overnight. Serve it chilled or warm, but avoid heating the fruit to prevent mushiness.
