Sangria

1 Bottle of Red wine

2 Cups Orange Juice

1/2 Cup Superfine Sugar (or to taste)

Lots of fresh fruit, sliced thinly if necessary

1/2 cup triple sec

1 bottle of prosecco or cava (or other inexpensive sparkling wine)

Mix the red wine, orange juice, sugar, triple sec and fruit until sugar is dissolved.  Add fresh fruit and chill thoroughly.  When ready to serve, add a splash of the sparkling wine to the serving glass and plenty of ice.  Garnish with fruit from the sangria.

Recipe advice: I usually use a Jammy Shiraz.  Don't use good wine.  Its a waste.  There are so many ingredients in the sangria you really don't taste the wine.  I usually use a combination of thinly sliced apples, oranges, lemons, limes, and strawberries but you can really use whatever combination of fruit sounds good to you!  Also, adjust the sugar, triple sec, and orange juice amounts to your taste.
