Spiced Apple Sangria Recipe

You’ll love this holiday spiced apple sangria recipe with flavors of the season. It’s a fun twist on holiday punch! I’ve partnered with Evite to create this recipe; this is a paid post.

On a holiday like Thanksgiving I love having a festive punch available for guests to sip on throughout the day. While it’s always a good idea to open a bottle {or 5} of wine, it’s an even better idea to mix it up into a holiday spiced apple sangria recipe! I’ve teamed up with Evite and seven other influencers to bring you this special #PassTheGiving entertaining guide for the holiday. We’re sharing some fun new twists on old traditions, including decor, recipes, and more.

You don’t typically think of sangria for the holidays. Usually you think of something like a hot toddy, or a party punch recipe if you’re serving guests. However, Thanksgiving is the perfect time to mix up this spiced apple sangria and create a new tradition.

TIP: Don’t have a punch bowl? Any large vessel will do. Think soup tureen, large mixing bowl, large cylinder vase, or apothecary jar.

My recipe combines a light red wine with the seasonal flavors of apple and cinnamon. It just doesn’t get much better than this!

Mix it up the night before so the flavors have time to blend, and then add the sparkling juice just before serving to give it the fizz that everyone loves. For a pretty punch bowl presentation, I added a couple of apple slices with cloves pressed into them. I used Red Delicious apples for this because they’re so large and firm, and hold up well.

Holiday Spice Apple Sangria Recipe

• 1 bottle (750 ml) Pinot Noir, chilled
• 1 and 1/2 bottles (750 ml) Sparkling Apple Juice, chilled
• 3/4 cup apple flavored whiskey {Jim Beam Apple}
• 1/2 cup cinnamon schnapps {Goldschlager}
• Sliced orange, lemon, and apple

Combine wine, whiskey, schnapps, and fruit in a container and refrigerate over night.

When ready to serve, pour mixture into a punch bowl and add chilled sparkling juice.

Enjoy!
