For the Fruits

2 Granny Smith Apples Adds tartness and a crisp texture; any tart apple variety can be used.
2 Honeycrisp Apples Provides natural sweetness and a juicy bite; Fuji or Gala apples work well.
1 Pear Contributes juicy freshness and complexity; any ripe, sweet pear will suffice.

For the Base

1 bottle White Wine Use a dry variety to maintain balance.
4 cups Apple Cider Spiced cider can be used for a warmer profile.
½ cup Pecan Vodka Adds a unique nutty warmth; substitute with plain vodka and a splash of vanilla or pecan extract.
¼ cup Lemon Juice Fresh juice is best for optimum flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Festive Simple Apple Cider Sangria

Start by washing the Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples along with the ripe pear. Core and dice them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for added texture and color.
In a large pitcher, pour in the dry white wine and the sweet apple cider, then add the diced fruits along with the pecan vodka, stirring gently to combine.
Give your pitcher a gentle stir, cover it, and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour, ideally 3-4 hours or overnight.
Once chilled, remove the sangria from the fridge. Pour it over ice-filled glasses, ensuring each serving includes a generous mix of fruit pieces.
