Green Apple Sangria Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 bottle of white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio work best)
- 1 cup green apple schnapps
- 1/2 cup white rum
- 1/2 cup simple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 2 green apples (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup sparkling water or club soda (optional, for fizz)
- Ice (for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Fruit:
- Thinly slice the green apples. You can leave the skin on for a pop of color and added texture.
- Mix the Sangria Base:
- In a large pitcher, combine the white wine, green apple schnapps, white rum, and simple syrup (if using). Stir well to mix.
- Add the Fruit:
- Add the sliced green apples to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine.
- Chill:
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the fruit to infuse into the liquid.
- Serve:
- Just before serving, add sparkling water or club soda for a fizzy touch (optional).
- Fill glasses with ice and pour the sangria over the ice. Garnish with extra apple slices if desired.
Tips:
- Sweetness Adjustment: Taste the sangria before serving. If you prefer it sweeter, add more simple syrup or a splash of apple juice.
- Fruit Variations: Add other fruits like sliced pears, green grapes, or a squeeze of lime for extra flavor.
- Non-Alcoholic Version: Replace the wine with white grape juice or sparkling apple cider, and omit the schnapps and rum.
- Presentation: Serve in a clear pitcher or glasses to showcase the beautiful green apple slices.
