Description
This recipe originally called for a ¼ cup Pisco. We made it without and loved it, but you can add it or substitute brandy.
Preparation
Peel, core and chop one of the apples. In a bowl, combine the wine, schnapps and honey. Add the quartered orange, lemon, lime, cinnamon sticks, chopped apple, ginger, and cloves. Refrigerate at least 4 hours. Strain the Sangria into a pitcher. Peel, core and finely chop the remaining apple. Peel, section and chop the remaining orange. Combine the apple and orange in bowl. On a small plate, blend sugar and cinnamon. Moisten the rims of wine glasses and dip in cinnamon/sugar to coat. Fill glasses with ice. Pour Sangria until three-quarters full. Top with a splash of club soda. Garnish with a spoonful of chopped apple and orange.
