Apple Cider Sangria.
Want to know what I’m thinking today?

Besides how giddy I am that Scott Speedman is back on cable television?
And besides how I don’t know if I can handle not ever knowing WHAT happened to Mark Sloan on Grey’s?
That this week deserves a big, cold glass of sangria.
It has been… a week. Uh huh. And it was “a week” AFTER I had this sangria last weekend. Fair? I think not.
Sooooo. You know, I’m all about the chilly weather cocktails. Last year I made pomegranate vanilla sangria along with apple cider margaritas, and now I’m like why didn’t I ever just make apple cider sangria? I don’t know. Sometimes I am just totally clueless.
Oh and I’m also freaking out over the fact that pomegranate season is HERE! Only one of my favorite fruits, um… EVER.
But it’s not about poms today, it’s all about the apples. I guess it’s been all about the apples all week, yes? Huh. Sorta crazy over them.
They only get better in sangria. Trust me.

delicious I doubled the recipe and it was perfect. everyone loved it!
Easy and Delicious!
What brand of ginger brandy did you use? I’m not sure that Domaine de Canton is considered an actual brandy although it does have some cognac in it….can’t think of any other
I made this for Bunco night and it was a hit! I doubled everything and used Reisling because it sounded good to me. I used plain Brandy because I didn’t see a ginger brandy option at my store. It honestly tasted just like apple cider, the alcohol wasn’t apparent at all. Will make this again!
I have made this for several years – and each time I have made it I’ve gotten rave reviews. I use regular brandy but instead of club soda I use hard apple cider.Zu
can anyone comment as to when to add the club soda. Doesnt it go flat if you let it sit 12 hours in the frige?
added OJ Honey and sugar made it a little sweeter
I looked but could not find ginger flavored brandy and didn’t want to use regular brandy. I found Smirnoff caramel vodka and used that instead. Everything else I left the same. It was delish! This will be a regular holiday staple moving forward.
I was so sad that I couldn’t find this recipe after making it for Christmas in 2020. So glad to find it again in time for Thanksgiving! It is GREAT!!
Served this at our communities Witches Night Out event in 2024. It was so easy to make for a large group using boxed wine and gallon jugs of fresh cider. So many people asked for the recipe that it will be our annual beverage for this event!
