Pumpkin Spice Sangria Recipe

Tis’ the season for pumpkin spice sangria!

Anyone else shook that it’s almost Thanksgiving….and almost Christmas? I’m so excited for the holidays (per usual), but I can’t help but feel like time is flying by. Besides creating delicious sangria and cocktail recipes, I also just started a new job as Director of Community Marketing at Her Campus Media (pinch me!), and launched a new holiday collection at Wine Style Shop! It’s a really exciting time and I’m feeling extremely grateful.

Enough about me…back to the pumpkin spice sangria. Freaking. Delicious. I’d personally never had anything like this, but with all of the PSL content taking over my Instagram timeline, it got me curious about how it would translate into a cocktail. It did not disappoint!

Since it’s just me and Doug and I had no occasion for this sangria, I made it a single-serve cocktail. If you want to make this in a larger batch for a dinner party, Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving or any other fall gathering, I’ll include those measurements as well!

If you’re looking for the best wines to pair with your holiday meal, check out this post. If you want to wow your guests with a red sangria try this one, and if you want a rosé sangria try this!

This pumpkin spice sangria would be PERFECT to serve the morning of Thanksgiving while you’re cooking in the kitchen and/or avoiding your relatives.

I hope this sangria recipe brings you as much joy as it brought me! While I did try it without the pumpkin cinnamon roll syrup and loved it, the syrup really puts it over the edge! I also use it in my iced coffee and it’s divine.
