Apple Cider Sangria
To start, apple, pear and orange chunks, plus a cinnamon stick, macerate in Duplin American Port until they are infused with sweet, caramelly flavor. Duplin Pum'kin red — only available while it lasts in fall — or Duplin Burgundy go into the pitcher, right over the port and fruit. Then comes apple cider. The combination is a fruity delight with a spice punch that keeps your team happy, from tailgate season to the holidays and, heck, right up until the first warm day of spring.
Ingredients:
- 1 apple, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 pear, cored and cut into small chunks

- 1 cup Duplin American Port
- 1 cinnamon stick or 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 bottle Duplin Pum’kin or Duplin Burgundy
- 3 cups apple cider
- Garnish: cinnamon sticks and orange slices
Directions:
- Put cut apple, pear and orange in a large pitcher. Pour Duplin American Port into the pitcher. Add cinnamon stick or ground cinnamon and stir gently. Let fruit macerate at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
- Add Duplin Pum’kin or Duplin Burgundy and apple cider to the pitcher and stir gently. Refrigerate mixture for at least 30 minutes.
- Fill glasses halfway with ice. Add a couple tablespoons of fruit from the sangria to each glass. Fill glasses with sangria. Garnish with cinnamon sticks and orange slices.
