How to make Holiday Apple Cider Sangria

Add the chopped apple pieces, orange slices, fresh cranberries, cinnamon stick and cinnamon powder in a tall pitcher. Pour in the red wine, apple cider, brandy, maple syrup or honey and stir to mix. Let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (up to 24 hours). The more time it sits, more the flavors of the fruits infuses and the more delicious it becomes.

Top it off with the club soda when you are ready to serve.

I plan to serve the Holiday Apple Cider Sangria at room temperature. For fun, you can rim the glasses with cinnamon sugar. Just for some extra fun.
