Directions | Boil water, sugar, and cinnamon over medium heat for 5 minutes, then allow to cool.
Remove the cinnamon stick and scrape off excess syrup. Cut the fruit into chunks, place in bowl, and cover with the sugary syrup. Chill for 2-3 hours. Fill pitcher with ice, then add fruit, half of the syrup, orange juice, wine, and optional liquors. Stir well and serve icy cold. |
Notes | The citrus fruits and apples do not necessarily have to be peeled.
For non-drinkers and kids, make virgin sangría by replacing the wine and spirits with a quart of grape juice. |
