By fuzzygroup

Ingredients

• 6 large oranges washed; 3 oranges sliced, remaining oranges juced
• 3 large lemons washed and sliced
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3 750 ml bottles medium bodied red wine, chilled
• 3/4 cup triple sec

Preparation

Step 1

0. Make this at least 2 hours before if not a full day.

1. Add sliced oranges and lemons and sugar to large container or bowl. Mash gently with wooden spoon until fruit releases some juice but is not totally crushed and sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Stir in wine, orange juice and triple sec.

2. Before serving add 18 to 24 ice cubes and stir briefly. This step is optional and I never before read it until I typed this in. Its perfectly good w/o the ice. And its great to liquor up your wife on a holiday when the inlaws are about to show up.
