Ingredients
- 1 bottle (750 ml) crisp white wine (Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc), chilled
- 2 cups fresh apple cider, chilled
- 1 large red apple, thinly sliced
- 1 large pear, thinly sliced
- 1 orange, thinly sliced into rounds

- To serve, fill glasses with ice, pour sangria over the top, and garnish with fresh herb sprigs if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh, unfiltered apple cider for best flavor.
- Remove fruit if storing more than a day to prevent over-softening.

- Add cranberries or pomegranate seeds for color and texture.
