Recipe ~ Sneaky Sangria

This isn't a complicated or difficult recipe. The hardest part about it waiting at least 3-4 hours before drinking it. Trust me though, it's totally worth it. Even our resident beer-only drinker was downing it, asking why there wasn't more.

2 washed oranges - 1 thinly sliced; 1 juiced
1 washed lemon, thinly sliced
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c Triple Sec
1 - 750ml bottle of juicy red wine - the cheaper the better


Muddle the sliced orange and lemon together with the sugar, until the sugar is dissolved (it doesn't take more than a minute)
Add the orange juice, triple sec, and wine.
Store for at least 2 hours in the fridge.
I waited 4 hours and it was so much better than when I tasted it at 2 hours.

For muddling, I put the sliced fruit and sugar in a bowl and gently mushed it with the bottle of a worcestershire sauce bottle. Whatever works...

Enjoy with friends and comrades!
