The rain is finally over, and spring weather is on the way! To us, that means fresh fruit and ice-cold beverages, like this Fandango Sangria from 101 Sangria and Pitcher Drinks. Let's start the weekend early, shall we?

Ingredients
2 bottles of Spanish red wine
1/4 cup sugar
1 red apple, cored and sliced
1 green apple, cored and sliced
1 orange, cut into wedges
1 peach, cored and sliced
1 banana, peeled and sliced
1 mango, peeled and sliced
1 cinnamon stick
12 cloves (stuck into the citrus fruit or apples)
