In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the grapes, figs, pears, apples, oranges, blackberries, and the red wine.
Gently press some of the fruit against the sides of the pitcher using a wooden spoon to release flavor.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 6 hours for a deeper infusion.
Before serving, stir in the sparkling blood orange soda and pear brandy.
Pour over ice and garnish each glass with a mix of the soaked fruit for a colorful fall presentation.
Pro Tips
-
Choose a bold California red like Zinfandel or Cabernet Sauvignon for a rich base.
-
Let the sangria chill longer (up to 24 hours) for deeper fruit infusion.
-
Swap sparkling grapefruit juice with blood orange soda for a slightly sweeter variation.
