  2. Gently stir the mixture to combine all the liquids.
  3. Add the thinly sliced apples, orange slices, and cinnamon stick to the pitcher.
  4. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the sangria to chill thoroughly.

  7. Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly!

Notes

For a sweeter sangria, add a splash of simple syrup or more caramel liqueur. You can also experiment with different types of apples and citrus fruits. Consider adding a splash of sparkling cider or club soda for extra fizz.
