- Red Wine: I like to use an inexpensive red for sangria. Look for a Rioja, Zinfandel or Malbec.
- Apple Brandy: This is a delicious addition for a boozy kick.
- Apple Cider: This adds a seasonal splash to your sangria!
- Simple Syrup: Just a little sweetness is added in.
- Cinnamon Sticks: These will impart a bit of warm cinnamon flavor.
- Fruit: You’ll need fall fruits, including apples, pears and orange. And you’ll need pomegranate seeds for a floating garnish.
