3/4 cup simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water)

2 bottles red wine, I used an inexpensive Shiraz

3/4 cup brandy

1/2 cup triple sec

3/4 cup orange juice

1 orange, sliced

1 lemon, sliced

1 lime, sliced

1 green apple, cored and cut into thin slices

1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved

1 cup fresh pineapple

 

Make simple syrup by dissolving the sugar in boiling water.  Let cool.  Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher or jar and refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.  Serve over ice with a few pieces of fruit in each glass.
