This Cozy Caramel Apple Cider Sangria is a quick and easy fall drink that tastes like it simmered for hours. With simple ingredients like white wine, apple cider, and caramel sauce, it comes together in under five minutes and is perfect for cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine (e.g., Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 2 cups (480 ml) apple cider
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) caramel sauce
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) apple brandy or bourbon (optional)
  • 2 medium apples (e.g., Honeycrisp or Fuji), sliced
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • Ice for serving

Instructions

  1. Pour the wine into a large pitcher.
  2. Add the apple cider and stir to combine.
  3. Pour in the caramel sauce and whisk vigorously for about 30 seconds until fully dissolved.
  4. Add the apple brandy or bourbon (if using) and stir gently.
  5. Core and slice the apples into thin rounds or half-moons, then add them to the pitcher.
  6. Add the cinnamon stick.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
  8. Serve over ice, garnishing each glass with a few apple slices and a fresh cinnamon stick if desired.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, replace wine with sparkling apple cider or ginger ale and skip the brandy. For a red wine version, use a fruity red like Merlot or Zinfandel. The sangria gets better after a day in the fridge. If caramel separates, let the pitcher sit at room temperature for 10 minutes and whisk again.
