Ingredients

  • 1 bottle sparkling wine champagne or prosecco
  • 2 12 ounce bottles ginger beer

  • 2-3 sliced apples

  • Stir to combine and drink up!

Notes

Storage:
  • Store any leftover punch covered, or removed to a pitcher, in the refrigerator right away. It'll keep for up to 2 days, but the carbonation will fade. You can always add a splash of fresh sparkling wine to refresh when serving again.
  • We recommend avoiding leaving the punch out for extended periods of time at room temperature. It'll go flat.
  • Prep and make this drink ahead of time — mix the still ingredients up to a few hours in advance, then refrigerate. When you're close to serving add sparkling wine, ginger beer, ice, and apple garnish.
