Serve up a homemade sangria that reflects the autumn season with pears, apples, oranges and a hint cinnamon. Be generous with the fruit it makes a difference. With that said, be generous with the Cointreau, or triple sec it makes a difference too.

Love your sangria. Reminds me of a friend who always served sangria for his guests as a first cocktail to his Thanksgiving and Christmas parties.

That looks like a pitcher full of fun! I can do a lot of damage to some sangria:)
Love how the fruit has soaked up all the red wine.
Oh, I just love sangria!! I think we should just put straws in the pitcher ;)
Love it! My favorite thing is to eat the fruit after the sangria is gone- This looks yummy. :)
