1 750mL bottle red wine preferable tempranillo or garnacha See Notes below for my exact combination.
1 cup club soda or other carbonated soda like Sprite or 7 Up. You can top up individual drinks with a bit more if you want your drink to be quite lively at the time you drink it.
1 cup orange juice can substitute fruit juice of choice
¼ cup Cointreau or Vermouth or Grand Marnier or Brandy. You can increase amount to ½ cup if desired
3 oranges one thinly sliced; two juiced
1 cup strawberries sliced vertically or 1 lime sliced or 1 cup cherries halved
½ cup pitted, sliced cherries
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped optional
sugar to taste most recipes use ¼-1/2 cup of white sugar
1 cinnamon stick optional

Slice orange and other fruit and place in bottom of the pitcher. Mix wine, juice soda and Cointreau and pour over fruit. Add cinnamon stick if using. Chill a few hours in the fridge or overnight.
Serve over glasses filled with ice.
