Sangria is a traditional Spanish drink made by combining red wine with fruit and other liquids. It's a refreshing drink that's perfect for warm weather and is often served as a party punch or to accompany a summer barbecue. The combination of wine, fruit and other ingredients gives the drink a unique and delicious flavour that is sure to be a hit with both wine lovers and non-wine drinkers alike. This recipe uses a frozen pink lemonade concentrate which provides some sweetness and sourness to the drink. The addition of brandy and carbonated lemon-lime beverage gives the drink an extra kick.

1.	In a large pitcher, combine the red wine, frozen pink lemonade concentrate, sliced lemon, lime and orange, bing cherry (if available), and brandy.
2.	Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
3.	Just before serving, add the carbonated lemon-lime beverage and some ice cubes to the pitcher.
4.	Serve chilled with additional slices of lemon, lime and orange if desired.
