Sangria usually consists of chopped fruit, wine, and other ingredients for flavor. Depending on the fruit and spices used, you can create a sangria for any holiday, season, and occasion. This past weekend, I made a fall themed sangria for Pop! Goes My Culture’s Halloween Party. I found a few recipes on Pinterest and around the web, and concocted my own recipe.
Fall Sangria with Red Wine
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading...Ingredients
- 1 bottle of fruity red wine (1.5 liters)
- 3 apples (Use different kinds to enhance flavor; I used 1 granny smith, and 2 macintosh)
- 3 pears
- 1 tbsp of honey or agave nectar
- 1 cup of triple sec
- 3 shots of St. Germain (optional)
- Apple Pie spice or cinnamon
Instructions
Peel and cube all fruit. Depending on your container size (see my pic) you might want to cut your fruit down into a smaller size.
Load containers with evenly dispersed chopped fruit.
Add in wine, honey, triple sec, St. Germain, a few dashes of apple pie spice and stir.
Let sit in the fridge for the flavors and fruit to marinate. This is key!
I was really scared about this at first because it didn’t taste as spiced when I first mixed everything together. Once I opened it up and tasted it for the first time 24 hours later – it was DELICIOUS and very addicting. It was crisp, and full of fall flavor. This is something I will definitely be making again, very soon!
I added on Martha Stewart Halloween wine labels for the party…
Have you made themed sangria?
This recipe looks so good. Did u just use regular wine bottles?
We used Fox Horn Shiraz-Merlot. It’s an Australian wine that is smooth and fruity, but not too dry – has a great finish. It was also very inexpensive! I filled the bottles back up with fruit and then the wine. You’ll need extra bottles because the fruit will take up space and your fluids will increase.
