Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry red wine
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1 cup cranberry juice cocktail
  • 0.5 cup brandy
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 apple medium, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 orange medium, thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup cranberries fresh
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 cup club soda chilled
  • 4 cups ice

Equipment

  • 1 3-quart pitcher

Method
 

  1. In a 3-quart pitcher, stir together the wine, apple cider, cranberry juice cocktail, brandy, and maple syrup until combined.
  2. Add the apple, orange, cranberries, and cinnamon sticks.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours.
  4. Stir in the club soda just before serving.
  5. Pour into glasses over the ice.

Notes

For the best flavor, chill the sangria for at least 4 hours and add the club soda just before serving so it stays fizzy. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; freezing is not recommended. For a lower-alcohol version, omit the brandy.
