Summertime Sangria

Wow ... Easy Sangria!
Most of the recipes I found called for Grand Marnier or Cointreau which are both very expensive. I didn't have any so we improvised. It was quite good.

2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
1 cup fresh orange slices, peeled
1 apple cored and sliced
1 cup fresh blueberries (if you had some, strawberries would be good too)
1 cup raspberry flavored vodka (I bet you could use any kind of vodka)
1 cup triple sec
1/2 cup brandy
2 bottles red wine (I used merlot)
Sparkling water

Soak fruit in vodka, triple sec and brandy for 3 hours.
Add red wine. Serve over ice with a splash of sparkling water.
Yum ... and packed with a punch (pardon the pun).
