Ingredients
One 750-milliliter bottle cabernet sauvignon
1 1/2 cups apple cider
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons apple brandy
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons pear brandy
1/4 cup Cinnamon Simple Syrup, recipe follows
2 cinnamon sticks (from Cinnamon Simple Syrup)
1 small Gala or Fuji apple, cored and thinly sliced
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and thinly sliced
1 small red pear, cored and thinly sliced
1 small green pear, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 orange, thinly sliced, each slice halved
Seeds from 1/2 small pomegranate
Cinnamon Simple Syrup:
1 cup sugar
5 cinnamon sticks
Directions
- Combine the wine, apple cider, apple and pear brandies, Cinnamon Simple Syrup, cinnamon sticks, Gala and Granny Smith apples, red and green pears, oranges and pomegranate seeds in a large container with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 72 hours. Transfer to a pitcher before serving. Serve in red wine goblets over ice, if desired.
Cinnamon Simple Syrup:
- Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Transfer the syrup to a lidded container, add the cinnamon sticks and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 48 hours -- the longer, the more intense the flavor. Remove the cinnamon sticks and save for the sangria.
