Sangria
1 medium sized orange
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
1 bottle (4/5 qt) dry red wine
1/2 cup Cointreau or other orange flavored liqueur
Cut the orange in half. Cut one or two thin slices from one half,
cut them into quarters, and save for garnish. With a vegetable
peeler, thinly cut off the thin outer peel of the other half of
the orange. In a bowl, using a spoon, bruise the peel with the
sugar to release the flavorful oils, then stir in the o.j., wine,
and orange flavored liqueur. Cover and chill: after the first 15
minutes, remove the orange peel. Serve Sangria in a bowl or from
a pitcher, garnished with the quartered orange slices. Add ice
cubes to the individual servings, if you like. Makes 6 cups, or
12 servings of 1/2 cup each.
