How To Make Authentic Sangria
Finely dice the peaches and apples. Combine them in a large bowl.
Repeat the process with the oranges and lemons.
Using a citrus press or reamer, freshly squeeze in the juice from one lemon and one orange.
Pour in the red wine. Then add the cognac.
Add the whole cloves and cinnamon sticks to the pitcher. Add the sugar to the pitcher and stir gently until fully dissolved.
Cover the pitcher tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours. This allows the fruit and spices to infuse the sangria with their distinct flavors.
Remove the sangria from the refrigerator and discard the used spices.
Add ice to the bowl.
Add the soda water and stir.
Pour into glasses and serve.
