Red Wine Sangria

Heading to the beach for the weekend so, hopefully, the only thing I'll be cooking over the next three days is me!  I did mix up a big batch of Sangria tonight, though, so I thought I'd share...the recipe, not the Sangria.  :)

Enjoy!

Sangria
2 bottles red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja reds, Zinfandel, Shiraz)
2 shots spiced rum (or brandy)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 oranges, cut into thick slices
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1/2 pint strawberries, sliced
4 cups ginger ale or club soda

Pour wine into the pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon and orange into the wine. Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out seeds if possible) and add sugar and rum. Chill overnight. Add ginger ale or club soda just before serving.
