This year for Friendsgiving, Ray and I decided to offer a fall/winter inspired cocktail. We knew we could go one of two ways. Apple based or cranberry based. This year we went with apple.
We knew we wanted to make it in large batches to accommodate for the crowd. We chose a simple, but delicious Caramel Apple Sangria recipe.
Here’s what you need:
1 gallon Apple Cider or Apple Juice
1 large bottle Pinot Grigio
3/4 bottle Caramel Vodka
chopped apples for garnish
Mix, refrigerate, and serve!
Pro Tip – We used two different types of apples, red delicious and pink lady because that’s what we had on hand. The pink lady apples definitely help up better than the red delicious, which got a little mushy. I suggest using extra crisp apples like pink lady or gala.
We served this cocktail in a a medium sized glass drink dispenser. It was a big hit at Friendsgiving this year, but I think it would also be appropriate for a Christmas party!
Oh my goodness, this looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it. Thank you for posting!
I love this recipe. the sangria looks Delish!!!!
Ooooh, Sangria is my jam. That looks so good and perfect for the holidays! XO.
It’s such a pretty drink :)! I don’t drink alcohol so wonder how it would take as a virgin drink; I love anything with caramel!

I think you could use caramel syrup (the kind you would add to coffee) instead of the vodka and sprite or club soda in place of the wine! I’m sure it would be just as delicious!
I cannot wait to try this out! Most likely this weekend!
Let me know how you like it! =)
This looks tasty!!
Thank you!
This sounds absolutely delicious! My friends and I go crazy for Sangria, so we will definitely be trying this soon!

This sounds really good. And it sounds like something that would be good hot too.
