Ingredients In This Apple Cider Sangria Recipe
Apple Cider: There is no recipe without apple cider. Make sure to use plain apple cider and not sparkling one.
Fruits: I added a mix of Honeycrisp apples and pears to the drink, but you can also add pomegranate seeds, cranberries, and orange slices as well for a more appealing look and flavor.
Lemon juice: It adds a burst of zesty flavor and they are also rich in Vitamin C.
Sparkling Water: I like to add the lemon flavored sparkling water for its citrusy notes, but you can choose any flavor of your liking.
How To Make Non Alcoholic Apple Cider Sangria
Cut the fruits:
Cut apples and pears into slices. I prefer to cut the fruits in slices, but you can also chop the fruits into 1-inch chunks.
Prepare the drink:
Dump the fruits into a pitcher. Add apple cider, lemon juice, and sparkling water and mix them well using a spoon.
Serve it cold:
Keep the pitcher in the refrigerator overnight or at least for an hour, and serve your apple cider sangria cold.
Tips & Variations
Spice it up: If you think, this mocktail needs some warmth in it, cinnamon is a great way to do so. Not only will it make your drink more comforting, but will also imbue a sweet earthy flavor profile that goes incredibly well with other fruits.
Add more fruits: If you’re a sucker for fruits, then this sangria will become your new favorite. Don’t limit yourself to just apples and pears, add seasonal fruits like pomegranate seeds, orange slices, lemon, cranberries, etc.
Sweeten the deal: I believe this refreshment can do with the natural sweetness of fruits and doesn’t need any added sweetness, but feel free to add some to match it to your taste preferences.
Select natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup to keep the added sugars and calories as low as possible.
How To Store
In the fridge: This fall sangria with apple cider can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days in a glass container or a pitcher. After that, the fruits start to dissolve and ruin the texture and flavor of the drink.
In the freezer: Don’t freeze the sangria as it will lose all its flavor upon thawing.
