The full list of ingredients, quantities, and instructions can be found in the printable recipe card below.
Use a wooden spoon and mix up the cocktail drink, and store in the refrigerator for 2 hours to overnight. This is going to give the mixture time for the flavors to blend together.
Serve in glasses with ice, and garnish with a cinnamon stick or two and sliced apples.
Storage
This apple shine sangria can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Make sure the pitcher is sealed, or it can take on odors from the fridge.
If you leave the sangria moonshine in the fridge for more than 2 days, remove the lemon rinds, as it can become bitter as it sits. Feel free to remove the apples as well and replace them with fresh ones right before you go to serve them.
Expert Tips and Variations To Recipe
- If you want a bubbly apple pie sangria, then leave the ginger ale out until right before serving.
- Make sure to stir well before serving to mix the drink up well.
- Ensure you allow the moonshine cocktail to sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Otherwise, it won’t allow time for the flavors to blend together.
- Use a mix of Green apples, Honey crisps, etc. This will add dimension to your drink.
- Reach for your favorite red dry wine to replace the Pinot if you would like.

Apple Shine Sangria
Ingredients
- 1-2 large apples sliced, plus extra for garnish
- 2 lemons sliced
- 3 cinnamon sticks plus extra for garnish
- 1½ cups unfiltered apple cider
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 750 mL bottle of pinot noir (or your favorite dry, red wine)
- 1 cup apple pie-flavored moonshine
- 1 cup ginger ale
Instructions
- Fill a large pitcher with sliced apples, lemons, and cinnamon sticks. Pour apple cider, brown sugar, pinot noir, moonshine, and ginger ale over the sliced fruit. *If you prefer more fizziness in your sangria, wait to add the ginger ale until right before serving.
- Using a large spoon, stir the sangria in the pitcher until mixed. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. I prefer waiting that extra time to get the best cinnamon flavor.
- Before serving, re-stir the sangria to make sure all of the flavors are incorporated and pour into your glass, over ice. Garnish with sliced apples and/or cinnamon sticks.
