This recipe transitions the popular summer cocktail for fall with richer liqueurs, [aromatic spices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autumn-whiskey-sour) and seasonal fruit. This [White Wine Fall Sangria](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mulled-white-wine) recipe by Salt and Wind calls for freshly sliced Pink Lady and Granny Smith apples sliced along with oranges and lemon. The fruit is added to two bottles of white wine mixed with Pisco brandy, orange liqueur, ice, honey and cinnamon sticks. The cocktail requires approximately four hours of resting time in the fridge so that the fruits can release their juices into the boozy base. The addition of apples, cinnamon and darker liqueur makes this sangria more robust in taste. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Fall Sangria:** Opportunity for creating innovative fall-themed sangria recipes using seasonal fruits and spices. - **Apples in Cocktails:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to incorporate apples in cocktail recipes to add a seasonal and fruity twist. - **Fruit-infused Alcoholic Beverages:** Trend of infusing fruits into alcoholic beverages such as sangrias for added flavor and visual appeal. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food and beverage companies to create and market new fall-themed sangria products. - **Alcohol and Spirits:** Opportunity for alcohol and spirits industry to develop innovative apple-based cocktail products and expand their seasonal offerings. - **Hospitality and Event Planning:** Trend of incorporating fruit-infused alcoholic beverages like fall sangrias into menus and event planning for added seasonal appeal. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Apple Wine Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angry-orchard-canned-cocktail.md) - [Autumnal Citrus-Infused Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-grapefruit-paloma.md) - [Juicy Fall-Inspired Alcoholic Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simply-spiked-cranberry.md) - [Fall-Inspired Juice Flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pressed-juicerys-spiced-apple-cider.md) - [Autumnal Balsamic Vinegars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-cider-balsamic-vinegar.md) - [Autumnal Spiced Apple Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiced-apple.md) - [Floral Hard Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floral-hard-cider.md) - [Autumnal Apple Cafe Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caribou-coffee-new-fall-menu.md) - [Apple Ice Cream Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-series.md)
