Sangria Punch

Sangria Punch is perfect for theme parties because you can easily double or triple the recipe depending on how many guests you have. I have a gigantic terra cotta pot that I use to make my sangria.

You can see it in this photo. It has a spigot on the bottom which I hang over my sink and fill punch glasses from there. That way I don't have to worry about drips; they go right into the sink.

• 1 lemon
• 1 lime
• 1 orange
• 1-1/2 cups rum (spiced rum works well too)
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 (750 milliliter) bottle dry red wine
• 1 cup orange juice

Chill the fruit, rum, orange juice and wine. If desired, make ice cubes out of the orange juice. This is a good way to keep drinks icey cold without diluting them.

Slice the lemon, lime and orange into thin rounds and place in a large glass pitcher. Pour in the rum and sugar. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours to develop the flavors.

When ready to serve, crush the fruit lightly with a wooden spoon and stir in the wine and orange juice (cubes if you made them). Adjust sweetness to taste.
