Daily Dose: Red Wine Sangria

Every sangria recipe can be simplified to the following easy steps:  Pour, chop, drop.  Pour some wine, chop some fruit, and drop it in the wine.  What you pour and what you chop is up to you!  For this batch I used a bottle of pinot noir left over from a dinner party, and some other liquor from the bar cart.  If you don't have red wine, use white.  If you don't drink alcohol, use grape juice. For the fruit I used apples, pear, orange, lemon, and strawberries.  Use your favorite combination :)  Enjoy!

1 bottle red wine

2/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup dark rum (or brandy)
1/4 limoncello (or orange liqueur)

Mix all ingredients together and let stand in a sealed container or pitcher for several hours in the refrigerator before serving (24 hours is best).

Serve and enjoy!
