Description

Have the fruit, brandy, wine and orange juice well chilled. Slice the lemon, lime and orange into thin rounds and place in a large glass/ceramic pitcher. Pour in the rum and sugar. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours to develop the flavors (stir occasionally to dissolve sugar).

When ready to serve, crush the fruit lightly with a wooden spoon and stir in the wine and orange juice. Adjust sweetness to taste.

I changed the rum to brandy because we did a comparison and found the brandy made for a better tasting sangria. This recipe used to be on my favorite site (allrecipes.com) , but they removed it, as they do with other recipes. Just make sure you copy or print them out when you see them!!

My Sangrias are indeed better with brandy and I'm glad you suggested this because I hate rum. My husband will have a surprise waiting for him when he comes back from work. We actually met drinking Sangrias in a bar so it will surely make him smile.
