Ingredients

  • 5 cups Apple Cider
  • ¼ cup Caramel Syrup
  • 1 750ml bottle White Wine Pino grigio, sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, or Riesling are excellent choices.
  • 1 cup Caramel Vodka Stolichnaya and Smirnoff have caramel versions
  • 3 lg Honeycrisp or Gala apples sliced thin
  • 2 lg Granny Smith Apple sliced thin

Garnishes (optional)

  • rosemary sprigs, star of anise pods, or cinnamon sticks
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (fine or coarse)
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Stir 5 cups Apple Cider and ¼ cup Caramel Syrup until the syrup dissolves.
  • Core and cut 3 lg Honeycrisp or Gala apples and 2 lg Granny Smith Appleinto thin slices and place in the bottom of your pitcher or jug.
  • Pour 1 750ml bottle White Wine, 1 cup Caramel Vodka, and apple cider into a pitcher.
  • Stir for several minutes until all ingredients are well combined. You can serve it immediately, but it is best to sit for 1-2 hours in the fridge.
  • To rim glasses with sugar, pour a bit of the sangria on a plate. On another plate, put ¼ cup of white sugar. Stir 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon into sugar until well combined. Dip the edges of the glass into the sangria and then press the edges of the glass into the sugar.
  • Serve over ice and garnish individual glasses. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Buy a wine you like, but don’t waste an expensive bottle on Sangria. An every day grade of wine (around $7-10) is perfect.
  • You will need around 1-750ml of wine. I usually find smaller bottles, so I use two.
  • I chill all of my ingredients before starting the recipe, just to get a jump on keeping the cocktails cold for serving.
  • This recipe easily doubles! Keep the ingredients in the same proportions.
  • If you like a fizzy sangria, consider adding a sparkling apple cider.
Store
Once opened, a light white wine can generally be stored for five to seven days in the refrigerator. However, the cut fruit starts to spoil earlier and become mushy. I recommend straining out the fruit. From the time you first mix a batch of sangria, plan to finish or discard it within three days.
