Notes
- Oranges: If you want to, buy 3 large oranges: 2 to slice and 1 to juice for the 1/2 cup of orange juice in the sangria.
- Red wine: Choose something inexpensive because you're doctoring it up with lots of other flavors. Spanish wines such as Garnacha or Tempranillo provide a nice nod to the origins of sangria.
- Orange liqueur: Triple sec, Grand Mariner, Cointreau, or Curacao are all good options.
- Simple syrup: To make your own, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved (do not boil). Remove from heat and cool completely. Pour into a sterilized container and store covered in the refrigerator.
- Yield: This recipe makes 12 cocktails with about 5 ounces of sangria each.
