White Sangria

By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• 2 large oranges, 1 cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices, the other 1 juiced
• 1 large lemon, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier (or other orange-flavored liquor, i.e. Triple Sec or Cointreau)
• 1 (750-mL) bottle white wine (Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay, preferably), chilled
• 6 to 8 ice cubes

Preparation

Step 1

1. Add orange and lemon slices and sugar to a large pitcher; mash gently with a wooden spoon until the sugar dissolves and the fruit releases some juice but is not completely crushed, about 1 minute. Stir in orange juice, liquor and wine. Refrigerate at least 2 hours (up to 8 hours).

2. Before serving, add ice cubes and stir briskly to redistribute settled fruit and pulp; serve immediately.
