Spanish Sangria

Ingredients:
3 oranges, sliced into thin rounds
2 lemons, sliced into thin rounds
1 lime, sliced into thin rounds
1 fresh peach, washed and pitted -- cut into thin slices
2 cups fresh raspberries
1 small pineapple, trimmed, cored, peeled, and sliced
1 bottle Bonny Doon Raspberry -- if you can't find then buy a good raspberry liquor
Framboise
2 bottles (750 ml) Terra Blanca Malbec or similar fruity dry red wine
1/2 cup brandy
3 ounces Cointreau
3 ounces Grand Marnier
2 cups fresh orange juice
2 cups pineapple juice
unsweetened sparkling water
ice cubes
mint sprigs

Directions:

In a large pitcher or glass beverage dispenser, add the fresh fruit and raspberry liquor.  Make sure the fruit is coated with the liquor.  Add the wine, rum, Cointreau, Grand Marnier, orange juice, and pineapple juice.  Stir to combine and store covered for at least two to three days to allow flavors to combine.

Serve the Sangria over ice in large wine glasses.  Fill serving glass half full with ice.  Add enough Sangria mixture to fill about 3/4 full.  Add a few slices of the marinated fruit along with fresh berries.  Top with either club soda or sparkling water.  Garnish each glass with a mint sprig.
