Ingredients
- 750 ml Red wine (preferably Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon)
- 1.5 cups Apple cider
- 1 cup Cranberry juice
- 2 tablespoons Grenadine syrup
- 2 tablespoons Triple sec (orange liqueur)
- 1 cup Sierra Mist (or lemon-lime soda)

Instructions
In a large pitcher, combine the red wine, apple cider, cranberry juice, grenadine syrup, and triple sec. Stir well to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Add the thinly sliced red apple, lemon, and orange to the pitcher. Gently stir again to distribute the fruit evenly throughout the mixture.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, chill overnight.
Just before serving, stir in the Sierra Mist (or lemon-lime soda) to give the sangria a light and fizzy finish.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the prepared sangria over the ice. Be sure to include some fruit slices in each glass for garnish and extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fruity and refreshing sangria!
