• 1/4 cup Triple Sec
• 1 bottle inexpensive, fruity, medium-bodied red wine (750 milliliters), chilled

Step 1

Add sliced orange, lemon, and sugar to large pitcher; mash gently with wooden spoon until fruit releases some juice, but is not totally crushed, and sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Stir in orange juice, Triple Sec, and wine; refrigerate for at least 2, and up to 8, hours.
