Here's my go-to recipe. Super easy!

lemon
lime
orange
1.5 cups rum
1/4 cup sugar (add more if necessary)
750 ml dry red wine
1 cup orange juice

Chill the fruit, rum, wine and juice.

Slice the fruit into thin rounds and place in a pitcher. Add rum and sugar. Chill for 2 hours.

When ready to serve, crush the fruit slightly with wooden spoon. Stir in wine and orange juice. Add more sugar if necessary.

You need to make a simple syrup, equal parts sugar/water in a saucepan, cook on low until just melted, stirring. Chill

red wine, club soda, triple sec & fruit & simple syrup. Can always add Cruzan orange too

If you google "Martha Stewart Sangria" there is an awesome recipe out there that uses blood oranges. You have to muddle the fruit the day before. The alcohol is wine and brandy...not too sweet. Here's another easy one:

1 bottle red wine
1.5 cups orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tbsp. superfine sugar
3 tbsp. brandy
6 oz. club soda
1 each peach, nectarine, and plum, sliced
1 pint blackberries
1 each orange and lime, sliced, seeds removed

combine everything in a big pitcher with ice.
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.
