Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium orange
2 medium lemons
5 limes
1 750 ml bottle Sauvignon Blanc
3/4 cup tequila blanco (white tequila)
1/3 cup Cointreau liqueur
1/3 cup honey (plus more to taste (can substitute agave syrup if desired))
2 cups 16 ounces lemon-lime soda, chilled

Steps:

  • Slice oranges, lemons, and limes. Reserve six slices of each, place in a zipper bag, and refrigerate (you'll add these to the sangria before serving).
  • Add remaining slices to a large pitcher. Using a muddler or a hefty wooden spoon, mash the fruit until juicy. Pour in the wine, tequila, and Cointreau. Stir. Drizzle in the honey.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
  • Remove muddled citrus with tongs, or, if you prefer a pulp-free margarita sangria, pour the mixture through a strainer and return it to the pitcher. Stir. Taste and add additional honey if desired. Drop in reserved fruit slices.
  • Divide sangria and fruit between six glasses and top each with 1/3 cup lemon-lime soda. Serve.
