Looking for winter and fall drink recipes?
Here are a few more winter and fall drink recipes: In my sister’s words: “I don’t usually like sangria. But this is the best sangria I’ve ever had.” If you’re keeping track, she’s said “best ever” about quite a few things over here (vegan pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins). But I’d have to agree with her…in all cases. Here are the secrets to our favorite fall drink recipe! Here’s a fall sangria that’s closer to a true Spanish sangria in flavor! It’s robust and dark, featuring apples, pears, and orange soaked in Spanish red wine, with a little cinnamon thrown in for a kick. When serving, you can pour the cider and wine in layers to make it into a two-toned cozy fall drink. Here are the basic steps (or jump to the full recipe below):
Thinly slice a pear, apple, and orange. Place them in a bowl and mix with a sprinkle of sugar. Add to a pitcher and pour in a bottle of red wine. Allow to stand 1 hour for the flavors to meld. When ready to serve, fill each glass half-full with sparkling apple cider or regular apple cider. Top off with the red wine. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or rosemary and serve!
If you want to be even more traditional, use a Spanish dry red wine. Our favorite is a Tempranillo from Rioja, which is what we used when we made this fall sangria. Its vibrant color and fruity tasting notes are perfect for this drink. In terms of glasses to use for sangria, one you probably already have on hand is a wine glass. We typically use a stemless wine glass. Here we decided to serve it in these Old Fashioned glasses because we liked the look, so you can also use any type of lowball glass.
A classic red sangria is full of bold, fruity flavor, or white sangria is crisp and refreshing. This rose sangria is a spin with rosé wine that everyone will be talking about. Fruity spins like strawberry sangria and peach sangria are so much fun. Frozen Sangria This icy version is wine-forward and just sweet enough, with a hint of citrus.
