• 1 cup Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

• 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash all fruits thoroughly and pat them dry.

Step 2

Slice the orange, lemon, and apple (or pear) into thin rounds or small wedges, leaving the skin on for added flavor and color.

Step 3

In a large pitcher, combine the sliced fruits and mixed berries.

Step 4

Sprinkle the sugar or drizzle honey over the fruits if a sweeter sangria is desired, and gently muddle with a wooden spoon to release some fruit juices.

Step 5

Pour the red or white wine into the pitcher and add the orange juice and brandy (if using). Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Just before serving, add the soda water or lemon-lime soda and stir gently.

Step 8

Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria, making sure to scoop some fruit into each glass.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.
