I don’t know about you, but I love the fall season! It is my absolute favorite season. As the temperatures cool down, there’s a crisp in the air, the trees turn beautiful shades of yellow, red, and orange, and there’s nothing better than sitting next to a fire with a seasonal sangria in hand. This apple cider sangria is the perfect fall sangria!

Recipe FAQs and Variations

What is sangria made of?

Sangria is a common alcoholic beverage that’s usually made with either red or white wine and chopped fruit(s). It’s also sometimes referred to as a punch and originated in Spain. Sangrias are also then sweetened with either sugar or some form of natural sweetener.

What is the best wine for sangria?

You can use either red or white wine for sangria, or even a mix of both. Because sangrias have fresh fruit added and sugar or sweetener, it’s best to use a dry to semi-sweet wine such as a pinot noir, merlot, or cabernet sauvignon.

How long does sangria last?

Because the sangria contains fresh fruit, it’s best to use it up within three days. Beyond that the fresh fruit will begin to disintegrate in the wine.

Recipe variations

  • For a dryer sangria, use a dry wine and add more carbonated water.
  • For a sweeter sangria, use a sweet wine and less carbonated water.
