-- juicy, glowing-red blood oranges, the sultans of citrus.

Delicate and nuanced, this blood orange sangria combines the rosy fresh-squeezed juice with white Spanish wine (a Rueda would be perfect), Cinzano Bianco and less sugar than other recipes might call for. The blood orange juice’s natural sweetness makes it a delicious mixer, and using white wine rather than red allows the color to shine and the lighter flavors to come through.
