Transcript:Citrus Fruit Sangria

Hi, I'm Aubrey from About.com. Today we're going to make citrus sangria.

To Make Citrus Fruit Sangria, You'll Need:

• 1 Bottle of dry, white wine
• 2 Tablespoons of brandy
• 3 Oranges
• 2 Lemons
• 2 Limes
• 1 10 Ounce can of pineapple juice
• 1 Cup of Club Soda

Cut Citrus Ingredients and Squeeze Juice Into the White Wine

Open your wine and pour it into a large pitcher. Take two oranges and cut them horizontally into thin slices. Quarter the slices and add them to the pitcher. Now take one lemon and cut it into wedges. Squeeze out all the juice and then add to the pitcher. You'll do the same thing with one lime. Cut it into wedges, squeeze out all the juice and add to the wine. We're going to use the remaining orange, lemon and lime as a garnish. We'll cut each of these into thin, horizontal slices. Go ahead and move this over to the side.

Flavor with Brandy and Chill Before Adding the Club Soda

Pour in around 2 tablespoons of brandy. I always do this to taste. The brandy helps bring out the flavors of the fruit. Add your 10 ounce can of pineapple juice, you can substitute orange juice if you prefer. Now, add the club soda just before you serve your sangria. Give it a stir and garnish the top of your pitcher. If you're serving your sangria right away and it hasn't had a chance to chill, add plenty of ice to each glass. Remember to garnish just before serving. You can also keep your sangria up to 5 days in your fridge.

This is how you make citrus sangria. Enjoy!
