How to Make Simple Orange Sangria

Using a vegetable peeler or zester, thinly remove the outer peel from one orange. Set aside the orange for garnish.
Cut the second orange into thin slices, then cut the slices into quarters. Reserve for garnish.
In a large bowl, gently bruise the orange peel with 2 tablespoons of sugar using the back of a spoon to release the essential oils.
Add 1 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice to the bowl.
Pour in 1 bottle (750ml) of dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc).
Stir in 1/4 cup of orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec).
Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer (up to 4 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the orange peel before serving.
Serve the sangria over ice, garnished generously with the reserved orange slices.
