Instructions
In a large pitcher, combine the red wine, orange juice, brandy, and triple sec.
Add the granulated sugar to the pitcher and stir until it's completely dissolved.
Slice the orange, lemon, and lime into thin round slices and add them to the pitcher.
Core and dice the apple into small cubes, leaving the skin on for added color, and add it to the pitcher.
Pit and slice the peach into wedges, then add them to the pitcher.
Gently stir in the halved strawberries to incorporate all the fruit.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together. For best results, refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
Just before serving, add the chilled club soda to the pitcher and gently stir to combine.
