This Apple Cider Sangria is the perfect festive fall beverage. Just mix prosecco, sparkling apple cider and brandy with apples and cinnamon!

Serve this tart and sweet sangria at Thanksgiving

I love to plan holiday and party menus right down to the drinks that will be served with the meal or appetizers. Usually I have wine with Thanksgiving dinner, but I think its fun to serve a cocktail during happy hour.

This apple cider sangria is the perfect Thanksgiving cocktail because it is sweet, tart and comforting with the hint of cinnamon. It is made with just a few simple ingredients starting with brandy, Prosecco and sparkling apple cider.

What is a traditional sangria made of?

Traditional sangria is made from red wine and fruit. Occasionally. other ingredients, like juice or brandy, are mixed in.

Sangria is one of the most popular drinks in Spain, but as its popularity has spread throughout the world, the ingredients have changed. Many types of sangria now exist including sangria made with white wine, rose or sparkling wine.

What kitchen tools will I need to make this simple fall sangria?

  • Large pitcher or mixing bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Mixing spoon
  • Liquid measuring cup

What ingredients will I need to make this Apple Cider Sangria?

You will be amazed at how easy it is to make this festive holiday sangria with just a few simple ingredients!

  • Prosecco
  • Sparkling apple cider
  • Brandy
  • Apple
  • Cinnamon sticks

Let’s make an Apple Cider Sangria!

To begin, wash and cube the apple. Then, place the apple cubes in a pitcher or large serving bowl with brandy and cinnamon sticks.

Stir gently to combine. Then, just before serving, add the bottle of Prosecco and bottle of sparkling apple cider to the pitcher.

Finally, serve with over ice with an extra cinnamon stick and add some of the apples to each served glass.

Can I prepare this fall sangria ahead of time?

You can, but the Prosecco and sparkling apple cider will lose its fizz as it sits in the fridge. If you want the sangria to be fizzy, I recommend making it just before your guests arrive or just before you want to drink it.

If you want to do some prep work, you can soak the cubed apples in cinnamon and brandy ahead of time. Then, just before your guests arrive you can pour in the fizzy items.

    I love this drink! Even my mom, who doesn’t really drink any alcohol, loved it. I’ve made it a few times now, the first for a fun Thanksgiving drink, and then just because :). I used bourbon because I forgot to get the brandy, and it was delicious with that as well. The second time I made it I used actual apple cider because I was out of the Martinelli, and that too was delicious, though not as fizzy. ALSO, I had a batch with the cider/apples/cinnamon sticks/bourbon just sitting in the fridge for like a week and then I would take it out and top off a glass with prosecco and that was great. Bottom line – this is a delicious and rather versatile fall recipe! Thank you!
