Sangria! Sangria!
The best sangria recipe I've been able to hone to perfection for summer parties! I like to use a fruity Spanish red wine, such as Garnacha or Rioja.
dry red wine
1
(750 milliliter) bottle
brandy
½
cup
triple sec
½
cup
frozen lemonade concentrate
⅓
cup
orange juice
⅓
cup
lemon juice
¼
cup
white sugar (Optional)
¼
cup
orange, sliced into rounds
1
medium
lemon, sliced into rounds
1
medium
lime, sliced into rounds
1
medium
maraschino cherries
8
carbonated water (Optional)
2
cups
 Gather all ingredients.
  Mix red wine, brandy, triple sec, lemonade concentrate, orange juice, lemon juice, and sugar together in a bowl. Add orange, lemon and lime slices, and maraschino cherries.
  Serve immediately over ice, or refrigerate 8 hours to overnight for best flavor. For a fizzy sangria, add club soda just before serving.
