22 Fall Sangria Recipes for Cozy Autumn Gatherings

Fall is sangria season whether you’re pouring a deep spiced red, a crisp apple cider version, or something bubbly and alcohol-free for the whole table. This roundup pulls together fall sangrias built on wine, brandy, bourbon, rum, and even the occasional caramel vodka, plus a couple of mocktail versions for anyone skipping the alcohol.

This is the drink that shows up at tailgates, Friendsgiving, apple-picking afternoons, and holiday open houses, since most versions sit in the fridge for hours (sometimes days) getting better while you handle everything else. Whether you’re planning a full fall party or just want something good to sip while the leaves turn, there’s a batch here worth starting today.
