I've made sangria before. It's really not a drink that has a specific traditional recipe, so it's up to you to play with the ingredients however you think will be good.

cheap red wine
club soda
booze (whiskey, rum, cognac, gran marnier, take your pick, I've heard of people using schnapps)
fruit
sugar
cinnamon

Mix however you'd like. I would probably do something like 2 bottles of wine, about 1 litre of club soda, booze to taste, maybe half a cup of sugar, couple cinnamon sticks (or crushed), and a bunch of cut fruit. I like apples and peaches a lot. A little lemon can be good. Berries aren't a bad idea. Cover it in a bowl, and refrigerate it overnight.

Lots of ice.

I would tend to use Sprite or 7-up and omit the sugar. That way there's no problem with getting it to dissolve.

As far as fruit goes I lean heavy on the citrus (lemon/lime/orange). Peach, passionfruit and kiwi work well too.

Don't be afraid to make a white sangria either.

I forgot to mention that the only "booze" (other than wine) I use in Sangria is triple sec.

Didn't end up making anything yet, i really need to though, because sangria is kind of the perfect summer drink.
