Red, Red Wine (Sangria)

Ever since I first made sangria I've never understood why more people don't make it themselves. It's so, so easy and the homemade stuff pretty much always tastes better than anything I've ever bought from a restaurant.
For Alton's EveryDayCook version he opts to pre-soak the fruit mix in brandy, which seemed especially appropriate for Wisconsin.

I'm prepared to call this Wisco Sangria, just like Wisco Old Fashioneds are made with brandy.

Once your fruit is sufficiently booze soaked the final step is to just pour everything together in a pitcher big enough to hold it all. That's it. We ended up with something everyone agreed was delicious and one friend described as "dangerously smooth".

Wine & Game Night, Cheers

Difficulty Level: Easy
Will it Get Made Again? This is a case where Alton Brown is competing with Alton Brown. My favorite sangria recipe is his Cheerwine Sangria* and I'm more likely to repeat that one again than make this instead.

*If you are looking for Cheerwine the most reliable source I've found in multiple states is Cost Plus World Market.
