My favorite fall cocktail for a crowd. It blends sweet apples, pear-flavored vodka, and warm cinnamon with a hint of caramel. It’s easy to make and will surely impress your guests.

This is great for a party because it makes a lot and has to be made ahead of time. Make it in the morning, pop it in the fridge, and finish it off right before serving.

Ingredients and Tools You’ll Need

If you can’t find pear-flavored vodka, you can use 1/4 cup of pear nectar or regular vodka. The type of white wine you use doesn’t matter. You will taste the apple cider the most, so pick one you know you love

This will make 10 glasses. If you need to serve more people, you can double or triple the recipe by making adjustments in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

  • 4 apples chopped
  • 2 cups pear flavored vodka
  • 3 tablespoons caramel sauce
  • 8 cups apple cider
  • 1 bottle white wine
  • 5 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 cups club soda

How to Make Apple Pear Sangria

Be careful when serving this. It’s sweet and doesn’t taste like alcohol, but it packs a punch and is stronger than it seems.

Step One: Mix. Add the chopped apple pieces to a large pitcher. Next, pour the pear-flavored vodka, caramel sauce, white wine, and apple cider over. Stir and place it in the fridge to chill for 2-4 hours.

Step Two: Garnish And Serve. Before serving, stir and add the cinnamon sticks and club soda. Serve over ice with a cinnamon stick as a garnish. (Or if you want to be really fancy, add a slice of pea or apple to the glass.)

Serving & Storing

This sangria pairs well with cinnamon sugar muffins, spiced apple cake, and cheese and crackers.

Chill any extra sangria in the refrigerator. Put it in a sealed container or covered pitcher. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

Then, pour in the pear-flavored vodka, caramel sauce, white wine, and apple cider. Stir well to combine. After that, place the pitcher in the fridge and let it chill for 2-4 hours so the flavors mix together.

Notes

For the best flavor and texture, use crisp, sweet apples like Honeycrisp or Fuji, and chop them into bite-sized pieces to infuse well with the liquids.
If you can’t find pear vodka, you can add 1/4 cup of pear nectar, which is available in the international section of the grocery store.
I used jarred caramel sauce, which is typically used to top ice cream in this sangria. Just a heads-up – caramel sauce tends to settle at the bottom, so make sure to stir the sangria well before serving to distribute the sweetness evenly.
The type of wine you use is not really important, as long as it’s white wine. Dry or sweet will both work, it doesn’t really make a difference.
