Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole black grapes
  • 1 cup whole green grapes
  • 2 oranges sliced into rounds
  • 1 lemon sliced into rounds
  • 1 lime sliced into rounds
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 1 bottle fruity red wine (750 ml bottle) such as Pinot Noir or Beaujolais
  • 1 can ginger ale (12 ounces)
  • Colored sugar for rimming glasses

Instructions
 

  • Freeze the grapes.
  • Rinse and de-stem the grapes, then pat dry.
  • Spread in a single layer a baking sheet, then place in the freezer at least 2 hours before you plan to serve.

Make the sangria

  • In a large glass pitcher, combine 1/2 of the orange slices (reserve the second half for serving), lime, and lemon slices.
  • Add the brandy and cinnamon stick and stir gently to combine.
  • Slowly pour in the wine.
  • Refrigerate sangria for at least 2 hours or overnight (a longer chill time will increase the flavor).
  • When ready to serve, add the ginger ale to the pitcher and stir gently with a spoon.

To rim the glasses

  • Place the colored sugar on a plate.
  • Rub an orange slice around the glass rim.
  • Dip the rim of each glass into the sugar, coating well.

Serving

  • Fill glasses with frozen grapes and reserved orange slices, then slowly pour in the sangria. Sip immediately and enjoy.
