Description
A cozy, spicy, and festive fall sangria featuring pumpkin puree, Fireball cinnamon whiskey, apple cider, and autumn fruits. Perfect for parties, Thanksgiving, or chilly nights in fuzzy socks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle (750ml) dry white wine (Riesling or Pinot Grigio recommended)
- 3/4 cup Fireball cinnamon whiskey (180ml)
- 1 cup apple cider (240ml, fresh preferred)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (120g)
- 2–3 tablespoons real maple syrup (30-45ml)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup orange juice (120ml, optional)
- 1 apple, cored and sliced
- 1 orange, sliced
- Handful of pomegranate seeds or pear slices (optional)
- 2–3 cinnamon sticks (for garnish and flavor)
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, whisk together pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and orange juice until smooth and no clumps remain.
- Pour in the white wine, Fireball whiskey, and apple cider. Stir gently to combine.
- Core and thinly slice the apple and orange. Add them to the pitcher along with pomegranate seeds or pear slices if desired.
- Add 2-3 cinnamon sticks for garnish and extra flavor.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight is best) to allow flavors to meld.
- Before serving, stir well. Ladle sangria and fruit into glasses, optionally rimming glasses with cinnamon sugar.
- Adjust sweetness or thickness as needed: add more wine or cider if too thick, more maple syrup if not sweet enough, or a splash of Fireball for extra kick.
Notes
Blend pumpkin puree with liquids first for a smooth texture. Chill for at least an hour, preferably overnight, for best flavor. Use fresh apple cider for authentic taste. Rim glasses with cinnamon sugar for a festive touch. Sangria keeps up to 3 days in the fridge; strain fruit for longer storage. For a non-alcoholic version, use sparkling apple cider and skip the Fireball.
