- ⅓ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 orange, sliced
- ½ cup pomegranate seeds
- 1 bottle of white wine, pinot grigio or Valdepeñas (Spanish white wine)
- ½ cup tequila
- ½ cup Grand Marnier or Cointreau, or triple sec
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 3 cups sparkling water, about 3 12-ounce cans
Instructions
Make the simple syrup:
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water and sugar to a boil, stirring frequently, until the sugar has completely dissolved and the liquid is clear. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Make the sangria:
- Wash the orange slice the ends off, slice it in half, and then into half-moon slices. Transfer the orange slices and pomegranate seeds to a pitcher.
- Pour the white wine, tequila, Grand Marnier (or Cointreau or triple sec), and orange juice into the pitcher. Use a long wooden spoon to stir.
Refrigerate
- Refrigerate the pitcher of sangria for 1 hour. Can be made a day ahead.
Serve
- Pour the sparkling water into the pitcher and stir to combine.
- Fill glasses with ice and pour the sangria over the ice. Add a couple of boozy orange slices from the pitcher into each glass and enjoy.
