1. Prepare the Fruit and Spices:
Thinly slice the apple and orange. Rinse the cranberries and set them aside.
Add the sliced fruits, cranberries, pomegranate arils (if using), cinnamon stick, star anise, and cloves to a large pitcher or punch bowl.
2. Mix the Juices:
Pour the pomegranate juice and orange juice over the fruits and spices in the pitcher.
Stir gently to combine and let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Add the Sparkling Element:
Just before serving, add the sparkling water or ginger ale to the sangria for a fizzy finish.
Stir gently to combine, ensuring the bubbles remain intact.
4. Serve:
Ladle the sangria into glasses, ensuring each serving includes some fruit.
Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs, orange zest, or a cinnamon stick for a festive touch.
