Ingredients

  • 1 Bottle of Fruity Red Wine such as a Garnacha
  • 5 Tbsp of Brandy
  • 1/4 cup Contreau or other top quality orange flavored liquer
  • 1/4 cup Vodka
  • 1 Splash Ruby Port

Instructions

  • Combine the wine, brandy, Cointreau, vodka, port, orange, apples, cinnamon stick, and lemon zest in a bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • When you are ready to serve, pour the mixture into a pitcher filled halfway with ice.
  • Add the orange juice, soda water, give a quick stir, and serve immediately.
  • Make sure each glass gets some ice and fruit and enjoy!

Notes

*I usually don’t add the ice into the pitcher and instead while serving add the ice a la minute and keep the pitcher in the fridge so it stays nice and cold and doesn’t get too watered down by the ice.
