  5. Add the 1/4 cup of orange liqueur and gently muddle the fruit using a cocktail muddler or wooden spoon to release their juices.
  6. Add the apple chunks and stir gently to combine with the other fruits.
  7. If using, add the cherries at this stage.
  8. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight (up to 24 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Just before serving, add the chilled white wine and sparkling cider.
  10. Gently stir to combine.
  11. Serve immediately in glasses, ensuring each serving contains some of the delicious fruit.
