Red Wine Sangria

By Maudie30

My friend Jane got me started on Sangria,.... I love this stuff!

This is an Amish recipe.

Ingredients

• 2 large juice oranges, washed; one orange sliced, remaining orange juiced
• 1 large lemon, washed and sliced
• 1/4 C granulated sugar or superfine
• 1/4 C Triple Sec
• 1 750ml bottle medium-bodied chilled red wine

Preparation

Step 1

Add sliced orange, lemon and sugar to a large pitcher.

Gently mash/muddle with a wooden spoon until fruit releases some juice but is not totally crushed and the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute.

Stir in orange juice, Triple Sec and wine, give a good stir. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours up to 8 hours.

Before serving, add 6 to 8 ice cubes and stir briskly to distribute the fruit and pulp. Serve immediately.
