Apple Cider Sangria Recipe

Fall is in full swing which means holiday party season in officially here! Whether you’re throwing together a fall-themed girl’s night in (I mean, aren’t we all?) or gearing up for Friendsgiving in a few weeks, the never needing to do list and work that goes into hosting can be tedious. As much as I hate all of the logistics of planning, the thing I love most is obviously the bar area. Honestly,  my next party will probably be a drink-your-meal theme aka fully stocked bar and BYOS (bring your own snacks).

One of go to’s for fall party cocktails in this super simple Apple Cider Sangria.

So funny story. I first made a version of this apple cider sangria a few years back for Thanksgiving at my parents’. Spoiler alert. It was NOT good. I used way too much brandy and not enough wine or apple cider. And I may or may not have grabbed the paprika instead of cinnamon. I was still getting into “cooking” and drinking and it was just one hot ass mess. We pore dit out and drank wine with apple slices. Talk about a classy party!

Fast froward five years and many, MANY sangria attempts later and I think I have finally mastered the perfect Apple Cider Sangria. I make this delicious concoction for every holiday . party I host or attend mainly because it’s super easy, is always a hit and gets the party started every.single.time. It’s got that strength that totally sneaks up on you and is guaranteed to start a dance party.

2-3 shots brandy  //  thinly sliced apples  //  stir and let chill in refrigerator

Literally. Just dump in all the things. Stir. And add more to taste. I always throw in a few extra shots of bourbon or brandy and top it off with some extra sparkling cider. Pour over ice and adda few apple slices to garnish. Sip & enjoy!
