Easy Summer Sangria
Bottle of light red wine, Beaujolais works best for me. Oranges, lemons, limes (1 each / bottle) 1/4 C Grand Marnier, triple sec, or another orange liquor 1/4 C sugar Slice up the fruits and place into pitcher. Pour sugar and liquor over top and mull it all together with the back of a wooden spoon. Pour the wine over. Let it sit for at least an hour. It actually can be drank right away if you can't wait - but allowing to let the flavors blend is better. Pour over ice. You can also try this using white wine. It also is really refreshing and hits the spot. I had a cava sangria while in Barcelona and it was very tingly and light. Haven't yet been able to recreate it in my kitchen. I'll try this version next although I don't suppose white grape juice is a staple in Barcelona.... Bobby Flay's Cava Sangria
