Here is the recipe from a local restaurant that we love to frequent in Clearwater. I'll admit to knocking back a few glasses of this stuff myself, and I am not really a drinker. It is very refreshing, smooth and sweet.
Sangria
1 liter bottle merlot or Italian red (look for bottle larger than the normal 750 ml. size bottles)
3 oz. brandy (a little more than 1/3 c.)
3 oz. triple sec (a little more than 1/3 c.)
4 TBSP sugar
1 lemon, sliced
1 orange, sliced
1 apple, sliced
1 small bottle club soda
Mix ingredients in a large pitcher and chill.
