Sangria

Yield: 3 quarts

1 bottle good red wine

1/4 cup brandy

1/4 cup triple sec

1/2 cup orange juice

1/2-1 cup sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)

2 nectarines, sliced

1 small apple, diced

1 lime, half thinly sliced, half quartered

1 lemon, half thinly sliced, half quartered

1 clementine/orange/mandarin, half thinly sliced, half quartered

2 quarts sparkling water

Combine the wine, brandy, triple sec, sugar, orange juice, nectarines, and apple; stir to combine. Leave in the frig overnight. Two hours before serving, add all the citrus and muddle it in the wine mixture. Add the sparkling water right before serving. I don't add the citrus overnight because it tends to make it bitter from the white pith of the citrus fruits.
