For the sangria:
- 1 (750 ml) bottle of white wine (we used Pinot Grigio)
- 2 1/2 cups apple cider
- 3/4 cup Triple Sec or other orange liquor
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup apple butter
- 3 honey crisp apples sliced
- 1 orange peeled and sliced
- 1-2 cups pomegranate aerils
- 4 cinnamon sticks
- 1 cup club soda or ginger beer
- Cinnamon sugar for rim ,optional
Mix all of the ingredients, except for the club soda or ginger beer, in a large pitcher. Stir and place in the fridge until chilled, at least 3 hours. You can make this up to 48 hours before serving. The longer it chills, the more the drink soaks up all the fruit flavor.
When you're ready to serve, add cinnamon and sugar to a shallow bowl or plate. Rim the glasses with a lemon wedge and dip them in the cinnamon sugar.
Fill each glass with ice then pour the sangria, including some of the fruit slices, in the glasses and top with extra ginger beer or club soda if desired.
What wine to use: the best option is a dry white whine like a Pinot Grigio.
How far in advance to make this: you can make this up to 48 hours before serving. Any longer and the fruit may start to break down and become too mushy.
