Party Sangria

Ingredients:
1 Bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, Zinfandel, Shiraz)
1 Lemon cut into wedges
1 Orange cut into wedges
1 Lime cut into wedges
2 Tbsp sugar
Splash of orange juice or lemonade
2 Shots of gin (optional)
1 Cup of raspberries or strawberries (may use thawed or frozen)
1 Small can of diced pineapples (with juice)
4 Cups ginger ale

Preparation:

• Pour wine into a large pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon, orange and lime into the wine. 
• Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out seeds if possible) and pineapple then add sugar, orange juice and gin. 
• Chill overnight. 
• Add ginger ale, berries and ice just before serving. 
• If you'd like to serve right away, use chilled red wine and serve over lots of ice. However, remember that the best Sangrias are chilled around 24 hours in the frig. - allowing the flavors to really marinate into each other.
