Late Autumn Cocktail: Cinnamon Pear Sangria


This delicious cocktail sounds like a crisp autumn day in a glass. The recipe for Cinnamon Pear Sangria includes not only white wine but also vodka...however, I got into a very unpleasant altercation with vodka years ago and ever since then, we have not been on speaking terms. So I am sure something else could be substituted if need be. Or maybe try it with just a Chardonnay? The great thing about sangria recipes is that they can be adjusted to include whatever flavors one like best.

CINNAMON PEAR SANGRIA INGREDIENTS
*White wine
*Vodka
*Cinnamon pear syrup (recipe below)
*Fresh pears
*Cinnamon sticks
*Soda water

PEAR SIMPLE SYRUP INGREDIENTS
*Fresh pears
*Granulated sugar
*Water
*Cinnamon stick
*Vanilla extract

To make the simple syrup, put granulated sugar, chopped pears, vanilla, cinnamon stick, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower to a simmer and let cook for about 15 minutes. Pour syrup over a fine mesh sieve to strain out the pears and cinnamon stick and let syrup cool completely before using.

To make the sangria, pour the entire bottle of white wine into a large pitcher. Add vodka, simple syrup, sliced pears, and cinnamon sticks and place the pitcher in the fridge for about 2 hours to let the flavors meld together. Right before you're ready to serve, stir in soda water.
