Fresh raspberries
Directions:
Pour red wine, champagne, triple sec and cranraspberry juice into a large serving bowl or jug. Add sliced orange wheels and fresh raspberries and stir. Fill a wine glass with ice and scoop or pour mixture into the glass (putting the ice into the glass instead of the bowl or jug prevents the sangria from becoming diluted).
