Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml red wine (dry or semi-dry)

- 60 ml brandy
- 30 ml simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 whole orange
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 whole lime
- 6 whole strawberries
- 1 whole apple (crisp variety)
- 240 ml soda water (or lemon-lime soda for sweetness)

Instructions
Wash and slice the orange, lemon, and lime into thin rounds. Keep the peel on for optimal flavor and color.
Hull the strawberries and slice them in half.
Core the apple and dice it into bite-sized cubes, leaving the peel on for added texture and color.

Pour the red wine, orange juice, brandy, and simple syrup over the fruit mixture in the pitcher. Stir thoroughly to combine.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 12 hours) to allow the flavors to meld together.
Just before serving, stir the sangria and taste for sweetness. Add more simple syrup if necessary.
Add soda water (or lemon-lime soda for a sweeter option) to the pitcher and gently stir to combine.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over the ice, making sure to include some fruit in each serving.
