1 cup club soda

Preparation:

Combined wine, syrup, Gran Marnier or Triple Sec and orange juice and stir.

Add sliced fruit and just before serving add the soda water.

Do not let the fruit slices sit in the Sangria for more than one hour before serving as the peels 

can cause the drink to be bitter.

Bring water and sugar to a boil and simmer until liquid is clear and the sugar has dissolved. 

Pour in to jar and refrigerate.

Keep for 3 weeks.
