Notes
- Apple brandy - I used Laird's Applejack but if you can't find any you can replace it with regular brandy, apple cider, pear brandy, or Grand Marnier.
- Red wine - No need to splurge here! An inexpensive dry red Spanish wine, like Garnacha, Tempranillo, or just a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Merlot is all you need.
- Just remember this when making sangria: the longer it sits, the better it tastes!
