Print Recipe

This simple yet elegant sangria combines ripe pears, cinnamon, and white wine for a warm-spiced fall drink that comes together in minutes. Let the fruit infuse the wine naturally for a crowd-pleasing cocktail that tastes like autumn in a glass.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio recommended)
  • 2 ripe Bosc pears, thinly sliced
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 cup brandy or pear liqueur (optional)
  • 1 apple (Honeycrisp or Fuji), thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup sparkling water or ginger ale
  • Ice cubes for serving

Instructions

  1. Wash the pears and apple. Cut the pears in half lengthwise, remove the cores, and slice into thin half-moons (about 1/4-inch thick). Slice the apple the same way.
  2. Place the sliced pears and apple in the bottom of a large pitcher. Add the cinnamon sticks. Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the fruit if using.
  3. Pour the brandy or pear liqueur over the fruit, then add the entire bottle of white wine. Gently stir with a wooden spoon to combine and dissolve the sweetener.
  4. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 4-6 hours or overnight for best flavor.
  5. Just before serving, stir in the sparkling water or ginger ale gently to preserve the bubbles.
  6. Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the sangria over the ice, including some fruit slices in each glass. Garnish with an extra cinnamon stick if desired.

Notes

For best results, let the sangria rest for 4-6 hours or overnight. Use a dry white wine to avoid a cloyingly sweet drink. The fruit is edible after resting. If making ahead, add sparkling water just before serving. For a warm version, gently heat the sangria (without sparkling water) and serve in mugs.
