Instructions
- In a large pitcher or a punch bowl, combine the orange, lemon, lime, apple, and peach slices.

- Drop the cinnamon stick into the pitcher. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Just before serving, add the sparkling water or lemon-lime soda to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine.

Notes
Customize your Sangria: Feel free to experiment with different fruits like pineapple, mango, or pomegranate seeds.
For a Different Flavor Profile: Substitute the grape juice with a blend of apple and white grape juice for a lighter, more citrusy version.
