What is apple cider sangria?

Apple cider sangria is a wine-based drink made with apple cider, fruit, and other flavorings. This fall-inspired version uses Sauvignon Blanc, oranges, apples, and cinnamon sticks.

Why use frozen apples?

Frozen apple slices help chill the sangria without adding as much dilution as regular ice. They also make the pitcher look beautiful.

Does sangria really need to sit for 24 hours?

Not necessarily! You can serve sangria after a shorter chilling period, but allowing it to infuse overnight gives the fruit and cinnamon more time to contribute flavor. The 24-hour wait is part of the viral trend.

Instructions

Freeze the apples. Slice the apples into thin wedges and freeze them until solid. You can do this several hours ahead or overnight.
Prepare the orange. Wash the orange and cut it into thin rounds. Freeze those as well.
Combine the ingredients. Pour the Sauvignon Blanc and apple cider into a large glass pitcher. Add the frozen apple slices, orange rounds, and cinnamon sticks.
Chill the sangria. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. For a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can let it chill overnight.
Serve. Stir gently before serving. Pour into glasses with some of the fruit, and enjoy!

Notes

Choose a crisp white wine. Sauvignon Blanc works well, but Pinot Grigio is another good option.

Freeze the apples ahead of time. This helps keep the drink chilled without immediately diluting it with ice.

Adjust the sweetness. Add a little more apple cider if you prefer a sweeter sangria.Don't rush the chilling time. Allowing the ingredients to mingle helps develop the flavor.
