I'd leave out the cucumber and the Sprite.

maybe club soda or tonic water for a little fizz. I cant remeber any cucc in my pitcher in the Coasta Del Sol.

If you add any club soda or tonic water (or anything) for a little fizz, then you no longer have a traditional sangria. In Spain, the sangria will have typically haveassorted fruits (oranges, lemons, apples, etc), some orange liquor or brandy, but never anything fizzy.
