Tip

If you're going to serve this sangria immediately, you can use either a bowl or pitcher. Otherwise, if you plan to chill the sangria for a few hours, use a pitcher with a cover. You can always transfer it to a bowl later on, if you'd like.

Step 4

Pour the apple cider, orange juice and one bottle of ginger beer into the bowl or pitcher. Add the entire bottle of white wine. Mix well.
