Ingredients
Scale
Liquids and Base
- 750 ml White Wine (Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc recommended)
- 1 cup Fireball Cinnamon Whisky
- ½ cup Pumpkin Puree (unsweetened)
- 2 cups Apple Cider
Fruits and Garnishes
- 2 pieces Apples, sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 piece Orange, sliced
- 2 pieces Cinnamon Sticks (for garnish)
Spices and Sweetener
- 1 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Maple Syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
- Mix Liquids and Pumpkin: In a large pitcher, pour the white wine, Fireball cinnamon whisky, pumpkin puree, and apple cider. Stir well until the pumpkin puree is fully integrated and smooth within the mixture.
- Add Fruits and Spices: Gently add the sliced apples and orange into the pitcher. Then add the cinnamon sticks, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter sangria. Stir lightly to combine.
- Chill the Sangria: Cover the pitcher with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 to 4 hours. For best flavor, chill overnight to allow the spices and fruit flavors to meld thoroughly.
- Serve with Garnishes: Pour the sangria into glasses, making sure to include the fruit slices in each glass. Garnish each glass with one cinnamon stick for an inviting presentation.
- Optional Toasting: For added aroma and a fun serving touch, lightly toast the cinnamon stick with a flame just before serving.
Notes
- Use unsweetened pumpkin puree to avoid over-sweetening the sangria.
- Adjust maple syrup according to your preferred sweetness level or omit it if your apple cider is sweet enough.
- Use fresh, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and tartness balance.
- Chilling overnight intensifies the flavor but chilling for at least 2 hours will still yield a tasty sangria.
- Lightly toasting the cinnamon stick enhances the aroma but be careful with the flame for safety.
