Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 Honeycrisp apples
  • 7 whole cloves
  • 1 4-5 inch cinnamon stick
  • 1.5 l red wine like Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, or Malbec (you can use 2 bottles of 750ml)
  • 8 oz brandy ((can substitute rum, especially for gluten free sangria))
  • 1 cup 7Up or Sprite ((for less sweet sangria, use all soda water))
  • 1 cup soda water

Instruction

  • Core and slice apples into thin slices. (Don’t peel the apples.) Add sliced apples and cinnamon stick to a large pitcher.
  • You can put whole cloves into tea infuser or tie it into a piece of cheese cloth. This will make it easy to find the cloves so you don’t serve it to the guests. 
  • Pour in brandy and red wine into the pitcher. Stir everything together and cover the pitcher with plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate it overnight. 
  • Add soda and soda water right before serving so it doesn’t go flat. After you add the soda, give it a gently stir.
