Just made this for the first time last night. It tasted wonderful! Trying to use up what I already had in the kitchen, I used oranges, red apples and plums. I soaked the fruit for three hours with an inexpensive brandy - I used less than a cup - and some leftover Cointreau and agave nectar. I used a reasonably priced but nice Garnacha - I'd wanted a Rioja but couldn't find one within my budget.
In the end, when I finally tried it, it was delicious.
But sadly, I found the fruit to be so soaked with the brandy, it was inedible to me. It didn't even taste like fruit, only alcohol. But maybe my taste buds aren't used to such a strong flavor.
Maybe because I used the Cointreau instead of the triple sec? The guy at the liquor store said the two were very similar.
Perhaps next time, I'll just use what the recipe calls for and mix everything together all at once and let the flavors blend that way.
But it's a great recipe! Definitely try it! I'll be using this one again! Thanks, Alton!

Extremely refreshing and nice. This one reminds me of the Sangria the Nut Tree used to serve. (not there anymore Vacaville, CA Comparing this one to that one, well, that's the highest compliment for Sangria IMO. Make this, you'll be glad you did.
