Red Sangria Recipe

Recipe for Red Sangria:

2 Oranges, divided
1 bottle of young fruity red wine
1 ripe peach sliced or 1 cup of frozen peach slices
1/4 cup of Spanish or Mexican Brandy
2 tbls, sugar
1 1/2 cups club soda
ice
1 orange, thinly sliced as garnish for glasses

Chill all ingredients before combining with ice. Thinly slice 1 orange and squeeze juice from second orange. Combine orange slices and juice, red wine, peaches, brandy and sugar in a large pitcher or nonreactive container. Stir until sugar is dissolved and refrigerate. Just before serving, add club soda and stir gently to combine.

Place a few ice cubes in tall glasses and pour sangria over ice. Make certain everyone gets a slice each of orange and peach in the glass. If you like, float a little Triple Sec or orange liqueur on top of each glass before serving.

Makes 2 quarts or 8 to 10 glasses.
