- 1 bottle 750ml non-alcoholic white wine (see alternatives below)
- 2 cups fresh apple cider non-alcoholic
- 1 cup pear juice
- 2 cups ginger beer for serving
- 1 firm pear thinly sliced
- 1 orange sliced into thin rounds
- 1 crisp apple Honeycrisp or Pink Lady recommended, sliced into thin wedges
- 2-3 cinnamon sticks plus extra for garnish
- 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary plus extra for garnish
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup optional
- Ice for serving
- Optional: ½ cup fresh cranberries especially for holiday versions
Wash and slice all fruits - cut the apple and orange into thin rounds and the pear into lengthwise slices. Reserve a few attractive pieces for garnishing.
Pour the non-alcoholic white wine, apple cider, and pear juice into a large pitcher or punch bowl and stir gently. Add the cinnamon sticks and rosemary sprigs to the liquid.
Add the sliced fruits to the mixture and stir carefully. Taste and add maple syrup if you'd like it sweeter. For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for about an hour to let the flavors blend together.
When ready to serve, add the ginger beer and stir gently. Pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish each with the reserved fruit slices, a cinnamon stick, and a sprig of rosemary.
Enjoy your beautiful, refreshing apple cider sangria that's perfect for any occasion!
