Ingredients
- 750 ml bottle red wine
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup gran marnier or cointreau
- 1 cup 100% cranberry juice
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 large honeycrisp apple, or 2 small apples, chopped or sliced
- 1 pear, chopped or sliced
- 2 small clementines, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- Optional: Ginger beer, ginger ale or soda water for serving
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the red wine with the maple syrup, gran marnier and cranberry juice and give everything a good stir to fully combine.
- Add the cinnamon sticks, chopped or sliced honeycrisp apple, chopped or sliced pear, clementine slices, and cranberries.
- Stir everything together to combine and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours for the best flavor.
- Before serving give the sangria a good stir. Serve the sangria by adding ice to each glass and pouring the sangria over the ice. Make sure each glass gets a little bit of fruit! Garnish with a cinnamon stick, slice of clementine and/or rosemary sprig.
- For a sparkling touch, top each glass with a splash of ginger beer or ginger ale for a little fizz.
Notes
- Usually I recommend to use whatever red wine you have on hand but make sure it's a kind of wine you like to drink! I like to use pinot noir or a Spanish red wine like a Tempranillo or Garnacha.
- Make this into a non-alcoholic sangria by using a non-alcoholic red wine and swap the gran marnier for orange juice.
- This recipe was developed and tested using red wine, however, I think the flavours would still work with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
