Ingredients
Scale
- 1 apple
- 2 blood oranges, plus 2 more for garnish
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 750 ml bottle dry red wine, such as Rioja
- 1 750 ml bottle sparkling cider (or ginger ale for a sweeter sangria)
- Ice, for serving
- For the garnish: colored sugar, Halloween cocktail picks (optional)
Instructions
- Thinly slice the apple and orange. Place them into a medium bowl and stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Transfer to a large pitcher. Allow to stand for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Pour in the red wine. Stir and refrigerate for 1 hour, or as long as 4 hours. (Don’t go beyond 4 hours or the fruit texture starts to degrade.)
- If desired, place colored sugar on a plate, wet the rims of the glasses, and dip them into the sugar (DIY or purchased; I made orange and purple).
- To serve, fill a glass with ice. Fill halfway with sparkling apple cider, then halfway with red wine mixture (or you can pour them both together in a pitcher). Or, add the wine mixture to a glass and top off with ginger ale.
- Garnish with blood orange slices and Halloween cocktail picks. When you’ve polished off the sangria, you can snack on the sweetened fruit.
