Ingredients
1 bottle red wine (I like pinot noir or shiraz)
1 1/2 cups cranberry juice
1 cup brandy
Juice from 1 large orange
2 cups fresh blueberries
8 ounces fresh strawberries, cut in quarters
Club soda

Directions

To a large pitcher add wine, cranberry juice, brandy and orange juice.

Add blueberries and strawberries. Chill for a few hours.

To serve, fill glasses half full with ice and use a slotted spoon to add fruit from the pitcher to each glass. Pour liquid over ice and fruit, top with club soda and serve.

Tips:

Add raspberries, blackberries and even apples to create even more of a festive drink.

Be sure to add the ice to the glasses and not the pitcher itself. You will dilute the sangria if you add directly to the pitcher.
