Apple Cider – Did You know?
Did you know that it takes approximately 17 large apples or 19 small apples to make one cup of apple cider? Could you eat 19 apples in one sitting? Considering the fiber intake, I might be able to eat 2 large apples, but 3 would be my tipping point.
There are many alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks that use apple cider, such as Bourbon mixes, Margaritas, and sparkling fruit punches.
Apple cider is a raw form of apple juice, we touch on the difference between apple cider and apple juice in our Caramel Apple Latte recipe.
Caramel Apple Sangria Is Easy To Pair With
- Pork
- Chicken
- Cheese
- Fried Foods
- Seafood
- Citrus pies like Key Lime Pie or Lemon cobbler
Think grilled pork chops with balsamic vinaigrette or Mozarella cheese sticks as lunch or dinner options. Or maybe try a fried batch of shrimp, oysters, or breaded chicken wings. When it comes to cheese, stay close to the light and creamy variety as they pair well with the citrus notes of the Pinot Grigio.
Sangria Variations
- Trade out your regular cider for some sparkling cider to take this drink recipe up another notch.
- Trade out your caramel vodka for regular vodka if caramel isn’t your thing but you want some delicious apple sangria.
- Trade out your vodka in general for some fireball. The cinnamon whiskey pairs amazingly well with the apples.
- We haven’t tried it, but, we imagine Apple Pie Moonshine would also go well in this sangria instead of the caramel vodka.
- Trade out club soda for apple flavored sparkling water for even more of a fall, crisp apple flavor.
- You can also substitute gingerale for the club soda.
- Waiting to add the club soda until right before you serve it really brings a bubbly addition to your sangria.
- Pour in some homemade caramel syrup for some real caramel sweetness.
