Cranberry Apple Sangria – Tempranillo wine mixed with brandy, apple cider, cranberry juice, and ginger ale and served with diced apples and cranberries

I looooove sangria. One of my favorite restaurants is a tapas bar with the most incredible red sangria. If I’m not careful. I can finish off the pitcher all by myself!

I have made many different types of sangria (with many of those recipes here on the blog) but, to my surprise, I have never made a red sangria at home. Well, that all changes today! This Cranberry Apple Sangria is made with the classic Tempranillo wine, which is what the Spanish use in their classic red sangria. What makes this sangria stand out from the classic is the spiced apple cider, cranberry juice, and ginger ale.

Here is my Cranberry Apple Sangria!

Tips & Tricks

  1. Any apples work fine. You can use any apples that you prefer for dicing and adding to the sangria. I liked the color of the Granny Smith apples but they aren’t a must if you prefer another variety.
  2. Unsweetened cranberry juice. This sangria is already sweet enough so we don’t want to make it sickly sweet by also using cranberry juice cocktail. Make sure you buy the unsweetened cranberry juice!
  3. Add the ginger ale last. Since the ginger ale is carbonated, it should not be stirred, since that can make it flat. Before serving, add in the ginger ale as the final step.
  4. Tempranillo wine. This wine is the classic red wine used in sangria. It makes all the difference! Luckily, grocery stores have started carrying it so you shouldn’t have trouble finding it.

    Love this recipe! Tempranillo is such an underrated choice for sangria—really gives it that authentic Spanish base. The spiced apple cider + cranberry combo sounds perfect for the holidays. I actually discovered this post while looking for festive drink ideas on Closeword (it’s a fun word association game where you guess related concepts—great for getting in a creative mood before hosting). Definitely trying this for Thanksgiving!

    This looks like the perfect fall sangria! I love that you used Tempranillo and unsweetened cranberry juice—simple tricks that make a huge difference. As a regular on WordleFinder, I couldn’t help but notice that “apple” and “cider” are both five-letter words. Funny

    Love how you keep the ginger ale fresh by adding it last—such a simple tip but makes all the difference in keeping that fizz. I’ll definitely be trying this with Granny Smith apples for a little tart kick. For anyone who loves a good themed drink, this would pair perfectly with a cozy movie night—maybe while playing something fun like Wordle.

    The mention of Tempranillo wine caught my eye immediately. It’s fascinating how using unsweetened cranberry juice keeps the sangria from being overly sweet, a great tip! As I was checking out the SBTI free online test during my coffee break, I couldn’t help but wish I had a glass of this refreshing sangria in hand. Perfect for a little mental escape!

    This cranberry apple sangria sounds incredibly refreshing and perfect for seasonal gatherings. I really like how the combination of tart cranberries and sweet apples creates a balanced flavor that feels festive but not overwhelming. Drinks like this make social moments feel relaxed and stylish, especially when hosting friends or family. I also enjoy pairing gatherings with subtle, comfortable accessories that fit an active lifestyle, which is why I often browse Casual Carats. Their modern and durable ring designs complement casual celebrations beautifully. Serving creative drinks while focusing on practical yet elegant personal style makes entertaining feel more thoughtful and enjoyable overall.

    The use of Tempranillo wine adds an authentic touch, staying true to the Spanish roots of sangria, while the addition of ginger ale gives it a light, fizzy finish. The emphasis on using unsweetened cranberry juice to balance the sweetness shows attention to detail, ensuring a well-rounded flavor. This recipe seems like a must-try for sangria lovers looking to celebrate the holidays with a flavorful, seasonal twist.

Asparagus Risotto – creamy, cheesy homemade riso Asparagus Risotto – creamy, cheesy homemade risotto loaded with crispy bright green asparagus! The perfect fancy-yet-simple spring side dish that tastes like it came straight from a fancy restaurant! 🌿

Risotto was one of the first "fancy" dishes I learned to make, you guys! I watched so much Giada De Laurentiis on Everyday Italian growing up, and she always made risotto seem intimidating yet achievable!

 So I decided to try it about 10 years ago for Mother's Day (or maybe Easter? – it was so long ago!) and made a mushroom risotto that turned out INCREDIBLE! 

Mushroom risotto is still one of my favorite variations, but asparagus is the PERFECT spring twist! The bright green color and fresh taste pairs so beautifully with that creamy, cheesy risotto!

Pro tip: The key to amazing risotto is patience! Add the broth just 2 ladles at a time and stir constantly. This slow process is what creates that luxurious, creamy texture!

Perfect for spring dinners, Easter, Mother's Day, or anytime you want an elegant yet simple dish that will impress everyone at the table! 🍽️

Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshake – vanilla ice cr Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshake – vanilla ice cream blended with real strawberries, actual cheesecake chunks, and topped with whipped cream, graham cracker crumbs, and a fresh strawberry! 🍓

I am very picky about my milkshakes, you guys! They HAVE to be (1) thick, (2) full of flavor, and (3) loaded with texture! This milkshake checks all the boxes!

This one was inspired by my husband's obsession with the Strawberry Cheesequake Blizzard from Dairy Queen! 

He LOVES it, so I decided to recreate it at home – but better! Instead of using strawberry ice cream and cream cheese, I used REAL strawberries and a real slice of cheesecake for that authentic chunky texture!

The key to making this milkshake so thick? I only use ½ cup of milk! The juice from the fresh strawberries helps liquefy the ice cream, so you don't need much liquid at all!
Pro tip: Make sure you're using the BEST vanilla ice cream you can find! Since this recipe is so simple, the quality of the ingredients really makes all the difference!

Perfect for summer treats, date nights, hot days, or anytime you want a decadent, fruity dessert in a glass! 🥤

Watermelon Basil Lemonade – homemade lemonade sw Watermelon Basil Lemonade – homemade lemonade sweetened with basil sugar and fresh watermelon juice for a complex, refreshing summer drink!

I love making my lemonade from scratch, you guys! It gives me the freedom to experiment with unique flavors like this watermelon basil combo! I've used watermelon in drinks before (hello, Watermelon Sangria and Watermelon Margaritas!), so I knew it would be PERFECT with lemonade!

Watermelon is such a major symbol of summer, so pairing it with fresh basil takes it to another level! The basil adds an herbaceous, complex flavor that regular lemonade could never achieve! 

This is one of those drinks that looks impressive but is incredibly simple to make – just 10 minutes of prep time and you've got something that tastes like it came straight from a summer garden!

Pro tip: Don't skip the salt! With a drink as sweet and sour as this lemonade, a little salt balances it all out and prevents it from being overly cloying!
Perfect for summer BBQs, entertaining guests, hot days, or anytime you want a refreshingly unique drink!

Fluffernutter Sandwich Three Ways – marshmallow Fluffernutter Sandwich Three Ways – marshmallow creme and peanut butter come together to make the ultimate sweet sandwich using three unique peanut butter flavors: Mighty Maple, Cinnamon Raisin Swirl, and Dark Chocolate Dreams! 

Peanut butter is probably my favorite dessert flavor, you guys! I mean, I have posted THREE different peanut butter cookie recipes in the past year, and that's not even including my PB&J Ice Cream Sandwiches! If this is what addiction looks like, please don't make me control it! 😍

It's my go-to dessert when I have the biggest sweet tooth but no cake or ice cream or candy around! I almost always have the ingredients on hand for a fluffernutter, so I never have to suffer "sweet pains" for too long!

Instead of making a plain fluffernutter, I decided to test three unique peanut butter flavors from Peanut Butter & Co! And I was shocked by the results! Dark Chocolate Dreams (my first love!) trumped the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl! There's something about how the Dark Chocolate Dreams melts into the marshmallow creme that makes me melt after each bite!

Pro tip: Cook on medium-low temp so the peanut butter has time to melt before the bread gets toasty! The melty peanut butter is the BEST part!

Perfect for when you need a quick dessert fix, a sweet treat, or anytime your sweet tooth takes over!

Schnitzel Sub Sandwich – crispy fried chicken te Schnitzel Sub Sandwich – crispy fried chicken tenders topped with fresh baby arugula, a squeeze of lemon juice, and shaved Parmesan cheese in a soft hoagie bun! 

I tried this sandwich at a restaurant and fell so deeply in love that I HAD to recreate it at home, you guys! It was so SIMPLE yet so INCREDIBLE! 😍

The best part? It tastes fresh and light despite being a fried piece of chicken! The secret is all in the fresh toppings – the baby arugula, bright lemon juice, and shaved Parmesan cut through the richness of the fried chicken perfectly!

The biggest step is pounding and frying the chicken tenders, but don't worry – I use a shallow pool of oil instead of deep frying, which makes it SO much simpler at home! Just flatten the chicken evenly so it cooks through and gets super crispy!

Pro tip: Make sure to use the lemon! Fried food can taste rich and heavy, and the lemon juice is exactly what the chicken needs to lighten it up and add freshness!
Perfect for lunch, dinner, weeknight meals, or anytime you want a gourmet sandwich at home! 🥪
