Prep Time10 minutes mins
Chill time1 hour hr
Servings: 4 people
- 750 ml red wine Garnacha is used here, but you could also use tempranillo, pinot noir, or zinfandel
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1 cup caramel-flavored vodka
- 1/4 cup brandy
- 1 Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced or cubed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 cinamon sticks
Place the cut up apples into a large pitcher. Add the caramel vodka, apple cider, brandy, cinnamon, and cinnamon sticks to the pitcher; give everything a good stir.
Pour the entire bottle of wine into the pitcher and give it a quick stir, then refrigerate until you're ready to serve it. (At least an hour.)
Let the sangria chill for at least an hour before serving. Cold sangria just hits better. You can make it a day ahead, which is ideal. In a rush? Toss in a few big handfuls of ice.
