Servings: 8
Equipment
- Glasses for serving
Ingredients
- 1 bottle white wine 750 ml, like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc
- 1 cup Fireball Cinnamon Whisky
- ½ cup pumpkin puree unsweetened
- 2 cups apple cider
- 2 apples sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)
- 1 orange sliced
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp maple syrup optional, for sweetness
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the white wine, Fireball, pumpkin puree, and apple cider. Stir well until the pumpkin puree is fully mixed into the liquid.
- Add the sliced apples, orange slices, cinnamon sticks, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. If you want it a bit sweeter, stir in the maple syrup.
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours to let the flavors combine. For best results, leave it overnight.
- Pour the sangria into the glasses, making sure each serving gets a mix of fruit slices. Garnish with a cinnamon stick.
- For a viral twist, briefly light the cinnamon stick on fire for a smoky aroma (use caution). Add a dash of nutmeg over the top.
Notes
Pro Tips
Little adjustments can make this sangria even better. These small tricks help keep the drink balanced and flavorful. Try these- Use unsweetened pumpkin puree so the drink doesn’t turn too heavy
- Taste the cider first, since sweetness varies
- Choose firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith
- Stir the pumpkin well so it blends smoothly
- Chill overnight for a stronger flavor
- Add more maple syrup if your cider is tart
- Keep extra fruit on hand for topping each glass
- Slice the orange thinly so the flavor doesn’t dominate
