Hello world! I bet you’re wondering where is your normal Sunday Brunch Bunch review! We’re putting it on hold because who else loves a nice sangria? We do! And this is a Thanksgiving Sangria! With the holiday coming up, and virtually no posts on our site about it, we figured that you deserved a good drink recipe. So, may I say that this sangria is amazing? I literally can’t get over how good it is! This Thanksgiving Sangria is so bomb!
Alright, I know what you’re thinking. Spain’s sangria is the best ever! And we totally agree with you! (We studied abroad in Spain as well). However, if you’re in the mood for a little bit of a fall twist, we would highly recommend. Additionally, it’s great and easy to serve at your holiday parties! Now, I am not a mixologist, although I would like to think of myself as one. I love mixing and creating cocktails! I can’t tell you how often I’ve come up with a drink by accident. Again, this Thanksgiving Sangria is bomb!
So let’s get down to it! I do have to say that this recipe is inspired by this recipe, although they are vastly different.
Ingredients
- Sparkling Apple Cider
- Moscato
- Maple Simple Syrup (¼ cup water and ¼ cup 100% pure maple syrup)
- Ice
Method for Maple Simple Syrup
- In a small saucepan, combine the water and maple syrup.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. (This should take 5 minutes, tops.)
- When simmering, remove from the heat, and let cool to room temperature.
Thanksgiving Sangria
Ingredients
- 1 cup of butter
- 3 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 tablespoons whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons of whipped cream flavored vodka (I used Pinnacle)
Directions
In a mason jar (or a glass of your choice), pour in ice and fill the jar half way with the sparkling apple cider. Pour your desired amount of moscato. Use 2 to 3 tablespoons of the maple simple syrup (more if you really like it sweet). Slice a few apples for garnish. Mix well! And enjoy!
We believe that using just maple syrup will work just as well as long as it’s stirred.
