    Makes 6 drinks

Ingredients

Vegetable oil (for grill)
2 peaches, halved, pitted
2 plums, halved, pitted
1 nectarine, halved, pitted
12 cherries, 6 halved, pitted, 6 left whole for serving
1 (750ml) bottle red wine

1/4 cup brandy

  1. Step 1

    Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium heat; oil grates. Grill peach, plum, and nectarine halves, flipping once, until lightly charred and tender, 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool, then cut into 1" chunks.

    Muddle grilled fruit and 6 halved cherries in a large pitcher with a wooden spoon. Top with wine, orange juice, brandy, and simple syrup; stir to incorporate. Chill at least 1 hour.

    Step 3

    Fill glasses with ice. Add sangria and muddled fruit and top each with a cherry.
