Sangria Saturday

This is a quick fridge sangria, nothing fancy but seriously good. I paired this drink with the Ultimate Chipless Nacho Platter and it was a success!

Sorry for the poor quality, remembered to snag a picture of the last glass!
1 bottle of red wine (1.5 liters)
1 1/2 cups fresh squeezed orange juice- I was lucky enough to find some fresh from the market today!
1/3 cup brandy
3 tablespoons sugar or agave (optional)
2 peaches or nectarines, cut into cubes
1 lemon, sliced
1 pear, cut into cubes
1 apple, cut into cubes
3 cups seltzer, chilled

Pour your wine, orange juice, brandy, and optional sugar into a pitcher and stir to incorporate. Add in your cubed fruit and lemon slices, then place in the fridge for a few hours- ideally overnight. I only had time to leave it in the fridge for 1 1/2 hours and it was still great, but I know the longer it sits the better. Before serving pour the chilled seltzer into the pitcher and give it a good stir. Enjoy!
