Instructions

  • Thinly slice the apple and pear. You can use a knife or mandoline. Then pour the wine, sparkling apple cider, cranberries, apple slices, and pear slices into a large pitcher. You can layer them or simply mix them all in. Refrigerate the sangria for at least 4 hours, or overnight to let the flavors meld together.

Notes

  • Because there's sparkling apple cider in this recipe, which is typically sweetened, I don't think you need any additional sweetener. But if you like a very sweet sangria, you can always add a little honey or maple syrup.
