Ingredients

2 Fuji apples, cut into 1/2-inch dice

1 orange, unpeeled, cut into 1-inch pieces

1/2 cup freshly-squeezed orange juice

1/2 cup orange liqueur, such as Cointreau

Two 750-ml bottles Lambrusco wine

2 cups club soda

Spiced Syrup:

10 cardamom pods, crushed

8 cloves

2 cinnamon sticks

Directions

In a pitcher or punch bowl, combine the apples, oranges, orange juice, orange liqueur and Spiced Syrup; stir with a wooden spoon. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to marry. Add the Lambrusco and club soda and stir to combine. Serve over ice.

Spiced Syrup:

Combine 1/2 cup water and the sugar, cardamom, cloves and cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat to dissolve the sugar; cook for 2 minutes. Let cool completely, then strain. Refrigerate for up to 5 days.
