White Sangria

Galley Wench's Note:

This is the perfect answer to those that can't drink red wine. According to Cook's Illustrated the best sangria is based on cheap wine and fresh juicy fruit! Cooking time includes chilling! This recipe works equally as well with a red wine!

• Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 large juicey oranges , 1 cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices, 1 juiced

• 2 tablespoons triple sec (or Grand Marnier)
• 1 (750 ml) bottle fruity white wine , chilled (medium-bodied)

Directions:

1. To a large pitcher add orange and lemon slices together with the sugar and mash gently with wooden spoon for approximately 1 minute (sugar should be dissolved).
2. Stir in orange juice, Triple Sec, and wine and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours -- a full day is best!

I tried this sangria with red wine cause that's what my mother had. I added 2 big tablespoon of cointreau (taste the same of triple sec). At first, I wanted to omit the sugar. But after I tasted it, I decided to add it but maybe less than 1/4 cup. This sangria was great. Thanks GW. Made for Please Review My Recipe
