Quick Sparkling Sangria

This isn't your typical Sangria - but it is very good. Usually Sangria has to sit for over 12 hours this one is done immediately!
1/4 cup orange flavored liqueur (recommended: Triple Sec or Grand Marnier)
1/4 cup almond liqueur (recommended: Amaretto)
12 strawberries, sliced
1 pint raspberries
1 bottle Spanish sparkling wine (recommended: Frexinet Cordon Negro)
4 seedless grapes

Directions:
Combine liqueurs and fruit in the bottom of a medium pitcher and lightly muddle. Fill pitcher with sparkling wine. Place a single grape in the bottom of each glass. The yeast on the grape skin will help retain some fizz in your drink. Spoon a bit of muddled berry from the pitcher into each Champagne glass then pour in the liquid. Serve immediately. Cheers!!
