Winter Punch

This punch says festive and friends all over it.  It requires a little planning in order to let the flavors blend but it helps me stay more organized since I do not have to worry about pulling everything together at once.  This recipe is slightly reminiscent of traditional sangria but with a twist. 

Combine in a large sealable container
3 bottles Pinot Noir
2 cups Pomegranate Blueberry juice
3/4 cup brandy
1/2 cup Cointreau
Chill for at least six hours

Then add 2 liters Black Cherry Soda

Before serving add 2 liter bottles of black cherry soda.   If placing in a large punch bowl, chop up four pears and 2 oranges and place in punch bowl for visual interest.  Serve in glasses over ice.
