Notes

your party (it's a great prep-ahead Halloween pitcher cocktail)! I like to do it about 3 to 4 hours ahead stick it in the fridge and ice it before serving. Or simply chill the bottles and fruit ahead and mix before serving.
If you are serving right away, I suggest muddling the fruit a bit so the flavors are nice and bold.
Wait to stir in the bubbly apple cider (Sprite or Ginger Ale) and ice just before serving. You don't want the ice to water down the sangria or lose those bubbles.
Use any red wine or sangria you love. If it's your favorite the sangria will be a hit.
If the wine isn't sweet enough for your taste, add a bit of simple syrup to sweeten it up a bit.
