Ingredients
- 2 red apples sliced or diced
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 750 milliliters white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio, chilled
- 2 cups apple cider
- ½ cup brandy bourbon or dark rum
- ¼ cup orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau
- 24 ounces ginger beer
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar for rim
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 12 whole cinnamon sticks for garnish
- 12 pieces star anise for garnish
- 12 sprigs fresh rosemary for garnish
Instructions
- Add the apples and cinnamon sticks to a 2-quart pitcher. Fill it with white wine, apple cider, brandy and orange liqueur. Refrigerate for an hour to let flavors meld together.
- Rim glasses with maple syrup, making sure there is no excess to drip, then roll the edges in cinnamon sugar.
- Add ice to the glasses, then fill with sangria almost to the top. Add 2 ounces ginger beer to each glass (or add all of it to the pitcher before serving).
- Garnish with whole cinnamon sticks, star anise and sprigs of rosemary.
Notes
If you prefer a sweeter flavor, you can use a sweeter red wine such as Moscato or Riesling.
To sweeten it further, add ¼ cup maple syrup to the sangria.
