It's summer and what's better than a delicious, icy glass of sangria? Here's how I made my pitcher last night:
Several glugs of sparkling apple cider
A good 1/4 cup sugar
Several glugs of brandy
Orange slices, pear slices, key lime slices and nectarine slices
Add the above to a tall pitcher and stir to dissolve the sugar. Add to this one bottle of whatever red wine you have around (that you want to sacrifice). Refrigerate until cold.
To serve, fill glass with ice and add sangria -- leave room for a splash of club soda.
YUM.
