Sangria

I helped make vats of this sangria for a party at Ward and Allison's years (10???) ago. I don't remember where we got the recipe from. I have it scrawled down on some scraps of paper. It was a super-yummy memory and it did not fail when I made it on Saturday night. I wasn't sorry that Jesse, Bob and I had to finish the whole pitcher by ourselves.

• 2 oranges - 1 sliced, 1 juiced
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup Triple Sec (I used Cointreau)
• 1 bottle of inexpensive, but good, red wine

Add sliced orange and lemon and the sugar to a large pitcher. Stir for about a minute with a wooden spoon until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the orange juice, Triple Sec and wine. Refrigerate and for at least two hours (up to eight hours). Stir before serving. Pour into glasses with ice cubes.
