1. 16 ounces fruity red wine, preferably Pinot Noir
2. 8 ounces cranberry juice
3. 4 ounces fresh orange juice
4. 4 ounces Chambord
5. Ice
6. 3 ounces chilled Sprite
7. Thinly sliced lemon, lime, and orange zest

Directions

1. In a pitcher, combine the wine, juices and Chambord; refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours. Stir well and pour into ice-filled white wine glasses. Top each drink with 1/2 ounce Sprite and garnish with the zests.
