  2. In a large pitcher, add the sliced fruit.
Mixing
  1. Pour in the red wine, Fireball, and orange liqueur. Stir gently to avoid crushing the fruit.
  2. Add the apple cider or juice. Taste and adjust sweetness with more cider or simple syrup if desired.
Chilling
  1. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Overnight is recommended for better flavor infusion.
Serving

Notes

Customize your sangria by adjusting sweetness or using different fruits. Keep the bubbly topper separate until serving to maintain fizziness.
