Apple Cider Sangria

What is Apple Cider Sangria?

If you’re craving a fall cocktail that feels like cozy sweater weather in a glass, Apple Cider Sangria is such a lovely choice. It blends crisp apple cider with wine, warm spices, and juicy fall fruit for a drink that tastes like a sweet autumn breeze. I genuinely think this one shines at gatherings since it’s a pitcher cocktail that looks gorgeous with minimal effort. It also balances freshness and comfort, which is surprisingly rare for fall drinks. You get the lively pop of fruit and citrus, a mellow hint of cinnamon, and that soft apple sweetness that always feels nostalgic. If you’re hosting, this is one of those drinks everyone drifts toward I don’t know why, but sangria has that magic.

Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
