Frequently Asked Questions

What wine works best and how much does it matter?

Use cheap, fruity red wine. I personally like Mark West pinot noir, but honestly the cheaper the better here. You need three bottles of it. The triple sec and fresh orange juice carry the sweetness, so an expensive wine is wasted.

Why a full bottle of triple sec?

The ratio here is built for a big punch bowl that serves 10. A full bottle of triple sec alongside a quart of fresh-squeezed orange juice gives you enough sweetness and citrus body that the sangria holds up with all that fruit. Cutting it back makes it taste thin.

How should I cut the fruit?

Slice the apples and peaches thin so they absorb the wine quickly. Cut the orange into large rounds. Stir everything together and serve over ice. The fruit is part of the drink, not just garnish.
