Frequently Asked Questions about Fall Sangria

Easy Fall Sangria Recipe - Spiced Apple Cider Sangria (7)

How far in advance should you make sangria?

That is the beauty of sangria, it can be made as early as 48 hours in advance to up to the hour before. The longer the fruit soaks up the mixture of flavor, the more enhanced it becomes. I like to aim for 8 hours the night before.

What season do you drink sangria?

Sangria is a magical co*cktail that can be enjoyed all year round. Sangria can be served chilled or warm, depending on the weather. It can be made with white wine and red wine. Depending on the weather, the season of the fruit, and taste buds, there are many variations no matter what season you would like to enjoy it.

What kind of apple is best for sangria?

When choosing the best apple for your sangria, it's important to understand what kind of flavor you are looking for in your co*cktail. If you are looking for a more tart sangria, then a granny smith or other green apple variations would be great.

For a milder flavor, a gala apple or fuji apple might be a better choice.
