Notes

Though you can drink it right away, it's best to let the sangria infuse in the fridge for at least an hour so the flavors have time to meld together.

Taste it before serving. If you need to sweeten it, stir in maple syrup, honey or simple syrup.

You can easily double or triple this recipe for a big crowd. Keep a spare pitcher in the fridge for when the first one runs out.

For a mocktail option, you can either opt for a non-alcoholic red wine or use pomegranate juice or more cranberry juice in place of the red wine. Then, go for apple juice instead of brandy and add orange juice in place of the liqueur.
