1 x 750ml Spanish Rioja red wine
Half a green apple (granny smith or similar)
Half a lemon
1 large orange
1/4 cup brandy
1/4 cup brown sugar + 1/4 cup water to make syrup
Dice the apple, lemon and half the orange -- place into a pitcher and add the brandy. Juice the remaining half orange and add that in too. Muddle to release some of the juices from the solid fruit. Add the bottle of wine and stir to combine.
In a small saucepan bring the sugar and water to a vigorous boil and maintain that for several minutes. Take off the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes; you should have a sweet thin syrup. Add about half to the sangria mix, stir and taste. Add more to taste as required.
Chill the pitcher of sangria in the fridge for a couple of hours to allow the flavors to develop.
Serve over ice -- add some sparkling water if you wish.
