Ingredients
• 1 750 ml red wine such as a Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
• 1 -1/2 cups fresh cherry juice (recipe below)
• 4 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1/2 cup orange liquor - I used Cointreau

• 1 orange, thinly sliced
• 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
• 2 limes, thinly sliced
• ice

Instructions
1. In a large bowl or large pitcher, add the wine, cherry syrup, orange juice and liqueur.  This is a good time
to refrigerate the wine overnight.
2. Add the fresh cherries, oranges, lemon, limes and mint and refrigerate for 2-4 hours. If you are
refrigerating overnight, add the above with the 2-4 hours before serving.
3. Serve on ice, and garnish with fruit slices.
