Amanda s Sangria

1 (750 milliliter) bottle red wine

½ cup rum

1 lemon, sliced

1 orange, sliced in rounds

1 lime, sliced

1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 apple, cored and sliced

9 whole cloves

1 liter lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage

In a large jar or pitcher combine wine and rum with sliced lemon, orange, lime, and strawberry. Push cloves into apples slices and add to mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight (the longer the better).

To serve, pour a tall glass half-full of wine mixture. Fill the rest of the glass with soda and stir gently. Remove cloves from apple slices and garnish drinks by spooning some marinated fruit into glass.
