October is here! This month at I Heart Sangria! will be dedicated to all things Halloween! To start with, a fabulous Orange Sangria. I have made this excellent sangria so many times, I've lost track. Any every time I make it, I'm asked for the recipe. This is a nice sangria to serve in October when Halloween is on the way, citrus fruits are coming in season and orange is the perfect color!
ORANGE SANGRIA
2 medium oranges, sliced
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups orange juice (fresh-squeezed is best)
1 bottle white wine
1/2 cup Cointreau
1. Place orange slices from 1 orange in bottom of large glass pitcher. Reserve slices from second orange for garnish.
2. Add sugar to pitcher and gently mash sugar into orange slices with wooden spoon. Stir in orange juice, wine and Cointreau. Cover and chill for an hour to overnight.
3. Serve sangria in glasses over ice. Using reserved orange slices, float an orange slice in each glass for garnish.
