FAQS


What are the best apples to use for this fall sangria recipe? You will want to select a heartier apple that will hold its shape when submerged in the wine cocktail mixture. Using an apple that is good for baking, like Pink Lady, Gala, Honeycrisp, Fuji, Granny Smith, Haralson, or Golden Delicious varieties will give you an apple that will taste delicious and hold it’s shape. All of these varieties of apples would be good choices in this apple and pear sangria recipe!


Could I use a different citrus fruit instead of lemon in this fall white sangria? Since this sangria recipe already has orange liqueur, substituting the lemon with an orange would be a great swap-out if that is your preference!


How do I make this into a sparkling sangria? If you’d prefer some bubbles in your fall sangria, I’ve recommended the addition of club soda or lemon-lime soda. Both are great additions to this wine cocktail!
