How to Make The Best Sangria Recipe

In a medium saucepan, whisk together water, pumpkin puree, sugar, and vanilla. 

Heat on medium heat, until simmering. 

Reduce heat slightly and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until syrup begins to thicken. 

Remove from heat and set aside.

To your pitcher, add 3 cups sparkling apple cider, 4 ½ cups white wine, and 1 cup spiced rum.

Add 1 cup of the pumpkin syrup you made, plus 2-3 apples, sliced.

To your cocktail glass, add ice and 3-4 apple slices, fill with sangria.

Garnish with a cinnamon stick. Enjoy!

You can discard the rest of the syrup, or put the rest into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for coffee or other cocktails.

Variations

For those seeking a lighter, fruitier option to balance the Thanksgiving spread, consider a vibrant strawberry cranberry sangria.

This refreshing alternative embraces the tartness of cranberries, the sweetness of ripe strawberries, and the crispness of white wine.

To elevate the experience, a dash of apple sangria adds a subtle fruity complexity.

This medley of flavors, combined with the effervescence of a well-chosen sparkling water, creates a Thanksgiving sangria that is not only visually appealing but also a delightful departure from the traditional.

Whether you opt for the rich pumpkin pie sangria or the lively strawberry cranberry variation, these autumn-inspired concoctions are sure to enhance the festive spirit and add a touch of warmth to your Thanksgiving celebration.

White Wine Sangria Fall Sangria Printable Recipe Card

Can I use a different type of wine for the pumpkin sangria?

Absolutely! While our recipe calls for white wine, you can experiment with different varieties such as rosé or even red wine to create your own unique twist on pumpkin sangria.

Can I make the pumpkin sangria in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the sangria in advance and refrigerate it. However, we recommend adding the sparkling ingredients, such as sparkling water or champagne, just before serving to ensure maximum dizziness.

How long can I store the leftover pumpkin sangria?

It is best to consume the sangria within 24 hours of preparation for optimal taste and freshness. After that, the flavors may start to deteriorate, and the fruit may become mushy. So drink up and enjoy it while it’s at its best!

Can I make a non-alcoholic version of the pumpkin sangria?

Absolutely! You can omit the alcoholic ingredients and replace the wine with grape juice or apple cider for a delightful non-alcoholic version of the pumpkin sangria. The spices and pumpkin flavor will still make it a delicious fall beverage.
