Ingredients

1. A bottle of Red Wine

Spanish Wine is the most authentic. It can be a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or one of the other wines for sangria.

2. Thinly sliced or chopped fruit

Orange, lemon, apple, peach, grapes, or other fruit for sangria. Be sure to cut the fruit so that the juice will mix with the wine.

3. Something sweet such as sugar, honey, or orange juice.

1.5 tablespoons of sugar works nicely.

4. A shot of brandy, triple sec, or other spirits for sangria

5. Sparkling soda (carbonated water) - club soda or ginger ale.

Mix and chill the ingredients in a pitcher, or serve iced if you are in a hurry. Save a few slices of fruit to use as garnish.
