Sangria

1 (750-ml) bottle red wine
1/4 cup brandy
1/4 c. vodka
1/4 cup Triple Sec
1/4 cup grape juice
1/4 c. orange juice
1/2 orange, thinly sliced
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
1 (750-ml) bottle sparkling water, chilled
Mix it all about--do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself about and that is what it is all about. We have had both a red wine and a white wine version of this wonderful cocktail at each of our annual fall barn parties and it is a festive drink that is both refreshing and delicious. Not to mention a wonderful way to use up all the wine that people have brought to your house in the past year that was less than perfect to drink straight from the bottle.
