Bartender’s Note:
Sangria is all about layering flavors, and this apple pie version nails it. The balance of sweet Moscato, spiced apple cider, and the subtle caramel notes from the vodka creates something truly special. Make sure you let it chill for the full 8 hours – that’s when the magic happens. And don’t skip the cinnamon stick – it brings warmth and depth to every sip. If you’re feeling creative, garnish with a cinnamon-sugar rim for an extra touch of autumn goodness.
