This is an easy apple sangria you will make time and time again. This recipe pops with fresh fruit and incredible flavour. Whip up a batch today!
There is nothing better during the holidays than whipping up pretty cocktails for your friends and family. There are so many possibilities and limitless options when it comes to boozy drinks.
You can also see this Easy Apple Sangria on Food Fanatic. I’m the chocolate fanatic on their website. Occasionally I share other recipes for other events they host.
Any time I think of fall or winter beverages my mind immediately goes to apples. They just scream fall and winter to me. It’s the perfect time of year to whip amazing apple beverages that are pretty and taste amazing.
I wanted to make a sangria that really popped with colour but still tasted like you were sipping on a heavenly drink while relaxing with your feet up on some tropical island. This one definitely met those expectations.
For this drink I sliced up two kinds of apples, then added some citrus to help balance the drink. It worked perfectly. Not only did I apple orange slices, but I also added orange flavoured liqueur. It makes every drink pop.
If you’re looking to make any drink stand out amongst all other drinks I highly suggest you invest in a bottle or two of Cointreau. I’m not even a big drinker but I know having that one hand is the key to amazing sips.
My daughter and I hopped into the local LCBO last month to stock up on supplies for holiday baking. We picked up some Cointreau, a few bottles of wine, and a fabulous chocolate malt to make a cake with.
By the time I walked out of there my wallet was empty but I had some amazing ideas for great recipes. The staff at the local LCBO are amazing at recommending products and suggesting recipe ideas.
The day we were there we chatted with a young man named Nathan who was as much of a foodie as I am. Needless to say it lead to a long discussion about recipe ideas. We both left inspired to try new recipes with booze.
So keep your eyes peeled as we move into 2016. I have some great boozy recipes to share with you. It’s going to blow your mind. I know I rarely post recipe containing alcohol but all that is about to change.
Buckle up, peeps, this is going to be awesome!!

I too have more recipes with alcohol in the queue that I’m excited about. 2016 must be the year to booze it up. LOL
Your sangria looks amazing and I love that you’ve used two different kinds of apples along with the Cointreau and all the other goodies. Wish I could taste it right now!
