So turn off the news and let’s make a happy and zesty sangria recipe!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED FOR THIS EASY SANGRIA RECIPE:
You will need limes
Apples, I used green apples, but you could be super fancy and use my other favorite, honey crisp apples.
Pear slices
Orange slices
Pomegranate Areoles
A good quality Vodka like Belvedere or Grey Goose
A good quality white wine, I recommend a good quality Pinot Grigio to keep up with the fruity vibes.
Mango lemonade or fresh-squeezed orange juice. I find that any fresh-squeezed citrus or mango juice works wonderfully for Sangria recipes.
Garnish items: Rosemary sprigs, cinnamon sticks, and Star Anise
USE UP THOSE PEARS AND APPLES SITTING AROUND ON YOUR KITCHEN COUNTER
It is pear and apple season and pears taste great in any cocktail recipe so I wanted a drink that used both of these fruits. There’s a twist too. To make this Sangria really fruity and to bring out the other fruit flavors, I also used Santa Cruz Mango Lemonade in my Sangria recipe. It makes the Sangria pop and works really well when combined with white wine.
Fresh, seasonal fruit in a Sangria recipe is a must! I sliced up fresh green apples, fresh pears, limes, oranges, and pomegranate. Fresh pomegranate in a Sangria recipe is so good and makes the Sangria look so vibrant and delicious. For my drink garnish, I used cinnamon sticks, star anise, orange slices, and some fresh rosemary sprigs.
THINGS TO DO IN THE FALL IN OCTOBER
Do you guys have big plans for Thanksgiving this year? We may rent a beach house with our friends and do a fun Friendsgiving or just hide away and bring our dogs. One thing for sure is I will be taking that entire week leading up to Turkey Day off. I need time away from my phone.
This is the perfect fall cocktail for all of your holiday gatherings and would make a beautiful drink at Thanksgiving!
Are you guys excited about the holidays? I think we could all use something to look forward to wrapping up 2021.
