Cinnamon Apple Cider Sangria: A Fall Sangria Recipe

This sangria takes apple cider to a whole new level! With the sweet taste of cider paired with a hint of cinnamon, oranges, merlot, and brandy, this refresher is perfect for enjoying in the fall season. But if you really enjoy it, you can truly make it during any time of the year.

The Secret to Great Sangria

The secret to a delicious, fruit infused sangria? Allow the fruit to soak in the wine for at least an hour. I’ve found that the longer my sangria sits, the more delicious it becomes, with the flavors of the fruit infusing themselves into the wine. I used this tactic with my cinnamon apple cider sangria recipe, and it really paid off! The end result is full of fruity flavor.

I hope you enjoy this fall sangria recipe as much as I did! Don’t forget to eat the delicious, wine-soaked fruit when you finish your drink. For me, this is sometimes the best part of the experience!
