Ingredients

• 750 ml Red wine
• 120 ml Orange juice
• 60 ml Brandy
• 1 large Orange
• 1 large Lemon
• 1 large Lime
• 1 large Apple
• 100 g Berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
• 250 ml Sparkling water or soda water
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (optional)
• 2 cups Ice cubes
• 1 stick Cinnamon stick (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the orange, lemon, and lime into thin rounds. Core and chop the apple into small cubes. Set all the fruit aside.

Step 2

In a large pitcher or mixing bowl, combine the red wine, orange juice, and brandy. Stir well to mix.

Step 3

Add the sliced citrus fruits, chopped apple, and berries to the wine mixture. If using a cinnamon stick for extra flavor, add it now.

Step 4

If you prefer a sweeter sangria, dissolve 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar into the mixture. Stir until fully combined.

Step 5

Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Just before serving, add the sparkling water or soda water to the pitcher for a fizzy touch. Stir gently.

Step 7

Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over the ice. Garnish with a slice of citrus or a sprig of fresh mint if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
