Autumn Sangria

What party would be complete without a good cocktail?  Here's an easy one that you can (and should) make a day ahead and will be a huge hit!

2 bottles of dry white or red wine (I recommend a pinot noir or pinot grigio)
2 cups of good apple cider
1 cup of brandy (can be apple, pear or just simple brandy)
1 cup of seltzer
2 tart apples cut into small chunks
2 firm pears cut into small chunks
1 orange, peeled and cut into small chunks, with seed removed
1 cinnamon stick

Combine all the ingredients except for the seltzer the day before the party except for the seltzer.   Let the flavors meld and combine in the refrigerator overnight.

Right before serving, add the seltzer, stir and serve over ice.
