How to Make Fall Sangria Recipe White Wine

Step 1: Prepare the Fruits

Start by washing and cutting your fruits. This not only makes them easier to eat but helps release their juices into the sangria.

Step 2: Combine the Ingredients

In a large pitcher, combine the white wine, apple cider, and brandy. This creates the base of your sangria, bringing together the flavors beautifully.

Step 3: Add the Fruits

Add the diced apple, pear, orange slices, and pomegranate seeds to the mixture. Their vibrant colors will make your sangria visually stunning.

Step 4: Stir in the Cinnamon

If using, add the cinnamon stick to the pitcher. This will infuse a warm spice flavor as it sits.

Step 5: Chill the Sangria

Refrigerate the sangria for at least an hour before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together, creating a more delicious drink.

Step 6: Serve Over Ice

Pour the sangria over ice-filled glasses. This keeps your drink cool and refreshing, perfect for sipping.

Step 7: Top with Club Soda

Just before serving, top each glass with a splash of club soda. This adds a lovely fizz and lightens up the drink.

Step 8: Garnish and Enjoy

Garnish with extra fruit slices or a sprig of mint if desired. It’s all about presentation, and a little garnish goes a long way.

Pro Tip: Make this sangria a few hours in advance for the best flavor, allowing the ingredients to mingle.
