Seasonal Sangria Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Combine Ingredients

   In a large pitcher, combine the red wine, orange juice, brandy, and sugar or simple syrup. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.

2. 2

   Add Fruits

   Chop the fresh seasonal fruit into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pitcher. If using, add the cinnamon stick and fresh mint leaves.

3. 3

   Chill

   Refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, let it chill overnight.

4. 4

   Serve

   Just before serving, add the soda water or lemon-lime soda to the pitcher for carbonation. Stir gently and serve over ice in glasses, garnished with additional fruit if desired.
