How to Make The Best Sangria
In a large pitcher, combine 2 large oranges, thinly sliced, 1 large lemon, thinly sliced, and ¾ cup granulated sugar.
Gently mash the fruit with a wooden spoon until the fruit releases some juice and the sugar dissolves (about 1 minute). Do not completely crush the fruit.
Stir in 1 cup orange juice, ½ cup triple sec, and 4 cups dry red wine.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, add 6-8 ice cubes and stir briskly to distribute the fruit and pulp evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
