Olive Garden Sangria

1.5 Liters Soleo Red Table Wine
10 oz Grenadine
16 oz cranberry juice cocktail
12 oz sweet vermouth
10 oz sugar water (5 oz sugar diluted)
Strawberries
oranges
crushed ice

This makes a gallon. Mix all ingredients except for ice. Pour sangria in glass and then add ice. Make sure there is fruit in every glass.

(I've never actually made this but I love their Sangria and I'm going to try it one of these days)

Sangria Punch

2 bottles of Arbor Mist Sangria flavored wine
1/2 bag frozen strawberries, thawed
1/2 bag frozen raspberries, thawed
1/2 jar maraschino cherries
1/2 orange, sliced
1/2 can 7-Up
1/3 cup sugar

Place fruit in pitcher. Pour wine over fruit. Add sugar. Let sit overnight.

You can use any kind of fruit you want. I don't always use frozen, sometimes all fresh, depending on what the store has.
