What better way to handle, I mean enjoy ;-), the holidays with your family than with a pitcher of boozy sangria!

Step by Step Instructions
Add the orange slices to the bottom of a large bowl or pitcher. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the oranges and muddle. (If you don’t have a muddler, the back of a spoon will work also!)

10 Comments on “Cranberry Apple Sangria”
Do you have the exact measurements? How much apples, cranberries, juice etc..
Hi Casey, yes, all of the measurements are in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog post. Enjoy!
Did you use cranberry juice cocktail or unsweetened cranberry juice?
Hi Dana, I used cranberry juice cocktail
Should I double the recipe if I am making for a large group of people? How many people does the regular recipe call for?
Hi Christina, this recipe will make approximately 10 – 8 oz glasses of sangria. I would definitely recommend doubling it for a large group.
I’m not a fan of red wine. Have you made this with white wine?
Hi Carol, I haven’t made it with white wine, but I think it would be great with a sauvignon blanc! Please let me know if you try it with white wine, I’d love to hear what you think!
Will silver rum work? I bought the wrong kind 🙁
That will be fine, you might just add a little less rum, or a touch more cinnamon to get that same cinnamon apple spice flavor you’re looking for! Enjoy!
