How to make sangria with cider

Sangria is a refreshing and easy-to-make summertime drink. It can be made with either red or white wine, and mixed with a variety of fruit juices, soda waters and even liqueurs. Cider makes a great base for sangria, as it is light and fruity, and can be made dry or sweet to suit your taste.

To make a basic cider sangria, start with a bottle of dry cider and add in some fresh citrus juice, such as orange or lemon. You can also add in some fruit, such as sliced oranges or lemons, or berries. If you want a sweeter drink, mix in a bit of simple syrup or honey. Mix everything together in a large pitcher and refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight for best results.

When you’re ready to serve, pour the sangria into glasses over ice and garnish with a slice of citrus or a few berries. If you want a fizzy drink, top off each glass with a bit of club soda or carbonated water. Enjoy!Click here for more info

How to make sangria with ice cubes

One of the most refreshing ways to enjoy sangria is by adding ice cubes to the mix. This not only helps keep the drink cool, but also allows the fruit flavors to mingle and develop. Sangria is traditionally made with red wine, but white wine or even rosé can be used. The key is to use a fruity wine that is not too sweet. For the fruit, fresh is always best, but feel free to use whatever is in season or looks good at the market. In addition to the fruit, you’ll need some type of citrus juice (orange, lemon or lime), sugar and a splash of brandy.

To start, combine the citrus juice and sugar in a pitcher and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the wine and brandy and stir gently. Then, start adding the fruit. We like to add a mix of large and small fruit so that there is something to sink your teeth into. For large fruit, try apples, pears, peaches or grapes. For small fruit, try berries, citrus or cherries. Once you’ve added the fruit, add a few handfuls of ice and refrigerate for at least an hour, up to overnight.

When you’re ready to serve, fill glasses with ice and pour the sangria over top. Garnish with a piece of fruit, if desired. Enjoy!
