Instructions
- Prepare the fruit. Thinly slice or chop the apples, pears and oranges and place them into the bottom of a large pitcher
- Pour the white wine, apple cider, bourbon, maple syrup, and drops of orange bitters over the fruit in the pitcher. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for 2-4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Right before serving, stir in the ginger beer for a bit of effervescence.
- Pour the sangria into glasses filled with ice, making sure to include some of the fruit in each glass. Garnish glasses with a cinnamon stick or star anise for a festive touch.
Notes
- For a sweeter sangria, use a Moscato or Riesling instead of dry white wine.
- Adjust the bourbon to taste; reduce to ¼ cup for a milder flavor or add more for a boozy kick.
- Double the recipe for larger gatherings!
