Smitty’s Sangria

I spent some time living in Spain and tried a bunch of sangrias. Once I returned stateside I missed the sangria on hot afternoons. After trying dozens of recipes I took elements of each and ended up with my own recipe that my friends and family seem to really like. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• Approximately 1/2 gallon of red wine (Carlos Rossi Sangria base or another Spanish red)
• 1  to 1 1/2 cup apricot brandy
• 1/2 to 1 cup triple sec
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 cup apricot nectar
• 1/2 to 1 cup sprite
• half an apple
• half an orange
• cinnamon

Directions

1. Combine the liquid ingredients in a large pitcher.
2. Chop the fruit into bite size pieces and add to pitcher.
3. Sprinkle cinnamon over the top.
4. Chill.
5. Drink. Mmmmmm.
