Red Sangria

Combine all of the ingredients in a large pitcher, stir well.

Optional: Add in 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup sugar for a sweeter taste. Or add in 1 cup or more of ginger ale just prior to serving for a bit of fizz and to help it stretch.

Float some fruit in the pitcher, using any or all of the following: 1 orange, sliced then cut those slices in half, 1 lemon sliced, grape halves, blackberries, apple chunks—whatever combination you may happen to have on hand will work.

You can serve it right away or let the flavors mingle for up to 3 days.

Serve cold from the fridge or over ice.

Tip: Squeeze the juice from any leftover pieces of orange or lemon into the pitcher. Don’t be afraid to increase or decrease any of the ingredients. Just taste it along the way to make it to your liking.

Enjoy!
