- Pour the apple cider, white wine, and Fireball cinnamon whiskey over the fruit mixture, then stir gently to combine.
- Refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours or up to overnight to allow flavors to meld.
- Just before serving, stir in the chilled ginger ale to add a refreshing fizz.

Notes
For a lower alcohol option, reduce Fireball by half and add extra apple cider or club soda. Enhance flavor with a splash of cranberry or orange juice if desired.
