Sangria Recipe

I've made this recipe twice now for parties and both times received rave reviews. In fact, this last time for a party of 12 I quadrupled the recipe and we still ran out! It's a cinch to make, as long as you remember to start it the night before.

* 1 Bottle Red Wine (I've used Zinfandel both times)
* 1 Lemon, cut into wedges
* 1 Orange, cut into wedges
* 1 Lime, cut into wedges
* 2 Tbsp sugar
* Splash of orange juice or lemonade
* 1 Cup of raspberries of strawberries (thawed or frozen)
* 1 small can of diced pineapples (with juice)
* 4 cups ginger ale

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 and orange juice (you could add a couple shots of gin or triple sec, although I never do). Chill overnight. Add ginger ale, berries and ice just before serving.

For doubling, tripling or quadrupling: I would do it by taste.... not everything in the recipe needs to be doubled, tripled or quadrupled (like the ginger ale, and probably the sugar).
