Ginger Apple Cider Sangria

Made with Sutter Home's rich and creamy Chardonnay as the base and mixed with bourbon for a nutty, bold kick, apple cider for that crisp apple taste, maple syrup & cinnamon to amp up those fall flavors, and finally ginger beer for a fizzy finish.

Course Drinks
Prep Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

For the Sangria

  • 1 bottle Sutter Homes Chardonnay
  • 1 1/2 cups Apple cider
  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 4 cinnamon sticks
  • juice of one orange
  • Fruit for garnish I used apples, pears, and oranges
  • 1 cup ginger beer

For the rim

  • 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 orange wedge

Instructions

  1. In a pitcher, add all of the ingredients, except the ginger beer. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Let sit in fridge for at least an hour to overnight. This allows for the ingredients to meld together and the cinnamon sticks to impart their flavor.
  2. For the cinnamon sugar rim, mix together the cinnamon and sugar in a small wide mouth bowl. Use the orange wedge to wet the rim of the glass. Dip the rim of the glass into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Fill each glass with ice.

  3. Pour sangria into each glass about 3/4 full, top with ginger beer, and garnish with an apple slice and cinnamon stick. 

  4. Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

**When ready to serve, you can add the ginger beer to the pitcher or you can also divide the sangria among your serving glasses and top with ginger beer (I recommend doing this if you do not plan to use all of the sangria in one sitting).
