Mark's Very Simple Sangria

Here’s a simple but delicious recipe for Sangria that my husband Mark makes. It’s always a hit at parties and is an often-requested recipe.

• 2 large oranges sliced

• 2 lemons sliced

• 2 limes sliced

• ½ cup brandy (optional)

• 1/3 cup sugar

• 2 bottles decent inexpensive dry red wine (like a Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah)

Put fruit in a glass container.  Pour brandy over fruit add sugar and muddle to release juice.  Stir in wine and Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. 

Pour into glasses filled with ice. Garnish with a slice of lime.
