Sangria - Large Batch
1 orange (sliced)
2 lemons (sliced) #192676
1/2 cup sugar (adjust the amount up or down depending on preferred level of sweetness)
2 (750 ml) bottles red wine (Spanish Tempranillo is a good choice)
2 oz triple sec
1/2 cup brandy
2 (12-ounce) cans of lemon-lime soda (for a low-calorie and low-sugar version, substitute soda water)
2 trays of ice (or enough to fill punch bowl)
Directions: Slice the orange and lemons about 1/8-inch thick and place them in a large punch bowl. Add 1/2 cup of sugar (or less if you prefer) and let the fruit sit in the sugar for about 10 minutes, just long enough so that the fruit releases its natural juices. Add the wine and mix thoroughly to dissolve the sugar. Add the triple sec and the brandy and stir. Add the 2 cans of soda and stir (if you are making this ahead of time, don’t add the soda until your guests are about to arrive). Taste for sweetness. If desired, add more sugar or soda. Make sure that the sugar is completely dissolved. Add lots of ice to the punch bowl to chill completely. If you are serving in pitchers, fill with ice and then pour the sangria over the ice. Send home in 44 oz to go cup with four 10-12 oz cups
