New Year's Eve Red Sangria

---

This is a sangria that i make every year when we have people over for new year's eve. i think that it is better than some of the sangrias i have had at restaurants! (please also see my new year's eve white sangria" as well!) note: this was updated with new measurements 11/23/2006 when i stopped eye-balling and really measured! note 2: i was out of grand marnier and substituted 1/4 cup of chambord and the flavor may have been even better!"
