FAQs

1. Can I make this sangria ahead of time?

Yes! Sangria tastes better when the flavors have time to blend, so making it a few hours in advance is ideal.

2. What type of Moscato should I use?

A sweet or semi-sweet Moscato works best to complement the tartness of the green apple schnapps.

3. Can I use frozen fruit?

Absolutely! Frozen fruit can also help keep the sangria chilled.

4. How do I make it less sweet?

Reduce the amount of pineapple juice or use a dry white wine instead of Moscato.

5. What other fruits can I add?

Peaches, kiwi, or grapes are excellent additions to this sangria.

6. Can I double the recipe?

Yes, simply double the ingredients and use a larger pitcher.

7. What can I use instead of apple pucker?

Use green apple juice or a green apple liqueur for a similar flavor.

8. Should I peel the fruit before adding it?

No need to peel the fruit; the skin adds color and texture to the sangria.

9. Can I serve this warm?

Sangria is best served chilled, but you could warm the mixture slightly for a cozy, mulled version.

10. How can I make it stronger?

Add a splash of vodka, rum, or brandy for an extra kick.
