This Sangria was really delicious and so easy to make. I followed the recipe to the letter.  Red plums and peaches were in their prime, so I'm sure their juices added a lot to the flavor. I did not have cinnamon sticks, but we did not feel anything was missing.  I will definitely add them next time.  The soda water splash diluted the taste too much, so I tried it with some Prosecco instead.  But that gave it too much of a Prosecco-y taste, so I switched back to the soda water and just added less. It was just right.  Allow the sangria to chill until very cold so your ice does not melt too quickly and dilute it.   <div><br /></div><div>I will be making this often.  Delicious.</div>
