Saturday Sips! Autumn Sangria, Two Ways

Autumn Sangria, Two Ways | The Evermine Blog | www.evermine.com
Typically made with a base of red wine combined with fruit juice, fresh fruit, soda water and sometimes brandy, Sangria is a beverage that’s primarily served and consumed in the warmer months of summer while the fruit can be freshly picked and an ice cold libation is most welcome. However, despite the cooling weather, we think we’ve managed to come up with two delicious Autumn-inspired Sangria recipes that are worthy of a new tradition at your Thanksgiving table.

Autumn Sangria, Two Ways | The Evermine Blog | www.evermine.com #coasters
Our first version is created using the more traditional red wine base (we chose a Pinot Noir) mixed with apple cider, chopped seasonal fruits like apples and pears, and cinnamon sticks for a kick of spice. The sweetness from the cider and fruit is often enough to balance the flavor, but you could add a tablespoon or two of molasses to bring out a deeper autumnal sweetness if you’d prefer.

Autumn Sangria with Pinot Noir and Apple Cider
Author: The Evermine Blog
Type: Beverage, Alcoholic
 
Recipe adapted from The Flair Exchange.
Ingredients
  • 1 bottle red wine (we chose pinot noir)
  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 1 chopped apple
  • 1 chopped pear
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
Instructions
  1. Combine all the ingredients together in a large pitcher and place in the refrigerator. Let sit overnight or several hours and serve cold. Optional: Serve over ice in a rimmed glass (see our recipe for spiced rim sugar below).

Our second Sangria recipe, a Sangria Blanca, is made using a white wine base (we used a Pinot Grigio) mixed with apple cider, club soda for carbonation, maple syrup for a light, natural sweetness, cinnamon sticks and a garnish of chopped seasonal fruits like apples, pears and plums. This version is lighter and sweeter than the first, which is perfect for those with a sweet tooth, and it smells absolutely divine.

  • 2 cups apple cider

3.2.2704

Finally, we’ve garnished all our sangria glasses with a spiced rim sugar to add a sweet and deliciously spiced flavor to either Sangria recipe. We chose to make ours using just white sugar and ground cinnamon, but you could incorporate any ground spices you wanted, such as ground nutmeg or clove.

Josephine Guicciardi is the nom de plume of our creative Evermine blogger. With romantic connections to Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved” love letters, it is in keeping with the blog’s themes of love and joy. The great composer writes the famous words “ever thine, ever mine, ever ours” to a woman who remains a mystery to this day. Two of the most likely objects of his adoration are Josephine Brunsvik and Guilietta Guicciardi, and it’s from these two women that Josephine Guicciardi draws her persona.

      Hi Lisa,

      You can find the carafe and the cork at Ikea (or Ikea.com). Hope that helps!

      Hey Jen. In that picture, you’re seeing the wine and the apple cider. They remain separate before you mix them together. 🙂

      I think we just purchased those at our local thrift store, Briana. We did a little internet shopping to see if we could find something similar for you, but came up empty handed. Sorry =/

      I don’t think this link leads to the exact carafe, but it’s pretty close. I believe the original was purchased at Target, but I’m not sure if they still carry them: http://www.amazon.com/Grant-Howard-Piece-Beverage-Carafe/dp/B00D3R296K

    This will be my third time making this delicious recipe, BUT I forgot to buy cinnamon sticks and there’s no way I’m making a trip to the store the night before Thanksgiving. Any advice for using spices instead? Cinnamon, nutmeg, etc?

    I made this last year and loved it. I’m about to make it for a party tonight but have 2 bottles of Merlot. Do you think Merlot will be fine or should I go buy Pinot
