Mulled Wine and Fall Sangria Recipes for Cozy Gatherings

Fall is here, bringing crisp air and cozy gatherings, the perfect time to enjoy warm mulled wine and seasonal sangria. These fall-inspired wine recipes infuse your gatherings with the essence of autumn, from spiced aromas to comforting flavors. Here’s our guide to crafting the perfect mulled wine and sangria.

Pomegranate Spritz

Looking for a hauntingly delicious twist on the classic mimosa? This Halloween-inspired version combines the bubbly charm of prosecco with a rich, dark pomegranate reduction, creating a refreshing drink as mysterious as it is. With its deep, moody hue, this spooky mimosa is perfect for setting the tone at your next Halloween gathering.

For a festive cocktail in just 20 minutes, reduce 1 cup of pomegranate juice over low heat for 15 minutes until it thickens by half. Add 1 tablespoon of this reduction to a sparkling flute, top with ONEHOPE Reserve Prosecco, and garnish with pomegranate seeds. Serves 2.

Spiced Mulled Wine

You’ll need Cabernet, honey, apple cider, Grand Marnier, an orange, cinnamon, and cloves, and about 30 minutes to prep it all. Then, you’ll warm everything together in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove. The scent will fill the kitchen as the flavors blend, and in half an hour, you’ll be ready to stir, strain, and serve. Here’s the whole recipe.

Another mulled wine recipe that we’re wild about is this one. It uses 20 cloves to bring out a rich spice bouquet that, when paired with the tangerines and apples in the recipe, creates a divine flavor profile. This wine calls for two types of alcohol, a Port and a Merlot, leading up to an indulgent fall favorite.

Fall Sangria

Take this summer infusion and set it to the backdrop of fall. We trade out the summer berries with fall fruits like apples and oranges, but the essence of sangria stays the same. Fall sangrias still bring table wine, juices, and fruits together to create a beverage that is as beautiful as drinkable. We’re especially fond of the cranberry sangria mentioned in this article. With ten perfect fall sangrias to try, you’ll have plenty of variety.

Spiked Cider

Finally, let’s talk about apple cider. Served warm, this beverage is just about synonymous with fall. While you can always buy it at the grocery store, we’re far larger fans of creating your own family recipe. We’re sure you’ve tripped across liquor-spiked ciders over the years. They’re popular, but it turns out that red wine-infused cider is equally spirited and delicious. Pinot Noir is the red wine of choice, though anything that is similarly bodied should work fine. Blend the wine with some rum and that same grocery store cider for a real treat. Here’s the full recipe.

Do remember that a big part of fall wine is in the presentation. We love copper mugs, even ceramic mugs, but anything that locks in the heat. Clear glass mugs can also provide a festive flare if your beverage features floating fruits or spices. Of course, a cinnamon stick floating atop the beverage is the perfect visual complement to these big fall flavors.
