Notes

    • Use the right wine: The best wines for sangria are dry to semi-sweet wines. For this recipe, I use Pinot Grigio, as it is a dry, semi-sweet white wine. I tend to use dry white wines in all of my sangria recipes, but for red wine sangrias, look for Spanish wines like Grenache.
    • Make it ahead of time: Simply make it a day or two in advance as instructed and keep it in the fridge. It will taste even better after it has time to sit!
    • Apple cider vs. sparkling apple cider: If you cannot find sparkling apple cider, use regular apple cider and add a half cup of sparkling water. 
    • What apples to use: Crisp apples are always best. I recommend Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, but there are other options.
    • Use pure maple syrup: Be sure to use pure maple syrup. The difference in flavor is noticeable!
