How to Make Claret Lemonade
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely.
- Fill a large pitcher halfway with ice.
- Add 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 2-3 orange slices to the pitcher.
- Pour in 4 cups of Claret (a dry red wine from Bordeaux).
- Slowly add the cooled sugar syrup to taste, starting with 1/4 cup and adjusting as needed.
- Stir gently to combine.
- Allow the Claret Lemonade to chill for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve over ice in glasses and garnish with additional orange slices or lemon wedges, if desired.
