Cherry Blueberry Apple Sangria

Cherry Blueberry Apple Sangria is a perfectly sweet cocktail recipe loaded with tangy berry and cherry flavors. Magnificent for fall and winter!

I’ve been saving my drink allowance for weekends now that I’m (trying to be) a responsible adult.

Which means come Friday and Saturday, the bottles are out and the drinks are poured.

This week, I developed a few sangria recipes for Love Beets and Kroger, and it dawned on me I haven’t posted a red wine sangria on The Roasted Root. I went ahead and used up my bounty of blueberries and cherries for this here beverage and loved the way it turned out.

Have you ever in your life allowed cherries and apples to stew in wine? It’s the the most amazing thing.

Basically, the fruit turns into something I can’t even describe in words. AND it gets better with age.

In the realm of cocktails, sangria is one of my favorites.

First of all, it involves wine (white, red, or rose, no less!), secondly, it involves booze, and thirdly, it involves fruit.

I prefer my cocktails on the less sweet end, so I typically don’t add very much sweetener or liqueur.

If you like sangria sweet, you can add more pure maple syrup or incorporate an orange or cherry liqueur into this recipe.

You can make it boozier, sweeter, build your own sangria bar so your friends can choose their poisons…lots of wriggle room when it comes to the cocktailing. 

Plus, it’s perfect for bringing with you to all your summerly events like concert series, and bbqs, and movies in the park, etc. etc.

Should we discuss our emoticons while we share a beverage?

I’ve been struggling with two things recently…let’s chat.

P.S. This cocktail would go really well with that Grain-Free Cherry Crumble I showed you yesterday. Just food for thought.
