How to Make the Best Sparkling Fall Sangria

This Sparkling Fall Sangria is the ultimate autumn entertaining drink—bubbly, flavorful, and absolutely show-stopping when served straight from a carved pumpkin. The combination of sparkling wine, bourbon, and apple cider creates a perfectly balanced cocktail that captures the essence of fall in every sip.

What makes this sangria special is the homemade spiced syrup infused with pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. It’s the secret ingredient that elevates this drink from a simple wine punch to a sophisticated seasonal cocktail. The spices blend beautifully with the natural sweetness of the apple cider and the brightness of fresh lemon juice, creating layers of complex fall flavor.

Serving this sangria from a tapped pumpkin is an impressive touch that makes any fall gathering feel extra festive. Your guests will love the presentation, and they’ll keep coming back for more of this delicious, refreshing cocktail. Perfect for Halloween parties, Thanksgiving gatherings, or any autumn celebration.

Instructions

Prepare the Sangria

  1. Combine the sugar, water, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the lemon juice.
  3. In a large pitcher, combine the sparkling wine, bourbon, apple cider, soda water, and the spiced syrup mixture.
  4. Stir well to combine.

Serve in a Pumpkin

  1. Cut the top off the pumpkin and remove the seeds and pulp.
  2. Insert the beverage tap into the side of the pumpkin near the bottom.
  3. Pour the sangria into the pumpkin.
  4. Serve in glasses with a rim dipped in caramel and cinnamon sugar.

Notes

  • The sangria can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the sparkling wine and bourbon with additional sparkling cider.
  • Rim the glasses with caramel sauce first, then dip in cinnamon sugar for extra flavor.
