• 1 bottle (750ml) dark red wine, we used Apothic Dark Red Blend
• ½ cup (120ml) brandy
• 1½ cups (360ml) cranberry juice, unsweetened
• 1½ cups (360ml) lemon/lime soda, we used Sprite
• 4 dark plums, sliced
• 1 cup (150g) black grapes, halved
• 1⅓ cups (235g) blackberries
  

In a small bowl, smash half of the blackberries to release their juices.  Combine all ingredients, including smashed blackberries, in a large pitcher.

Gently stir together and chill as desired. Add maple syrup, to taste, for a sweet version.
