Ingredients

1 (750 milliliter) bottle white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio
4 cups apple cider
1/2 cup brandy
1/4 cup orange liqueur, such as Triple Sec or Cointreau
1 red apple, cored and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 green apple, cored and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 orange, thinly sliced
3 cinnamon sticks
Ice, for serving

Instructions

If desired, prepare the serving glasses: Wet the rim of each serving glass with a little water or by rubbing with an orange slice. Dip the wet rim into the turbinado sugar to create a sugared edge.
In a large pitcher, combine the white wine, apple cider, brandy, and orange liqueur. Stir gently until well mixed.
Add the diced red apple, diced green apple, orange slices, and cinnamon sticks to the pitcher with the liquid mixture.
Refrigerate the sangria for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and chill thoroughly.
When ready to serve, fill the prepared glasses with ice. Pour the chilled sangria over the ice, ensuring each glass receives a generous portion of fruit and a cinnamon stick.

Notes

For added sweetness, adjust the amount of sugar used on the rim or add more fruit to the mixture. You can also experiment with different types of wine or liqueurs to customize your sangria.
