  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 navel orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 lime, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups dry red wine
  • 1 1/2 cups chilled sparkling water, or as needed

  2. Drain fruit in a large sieve set over another bowl and reserve fruit and syrup separately.
  3. Fill a large glass pitcher one-fourth full with ice and add wine, fruit, and 1 cup syrup (save leftover syrup for another use). Stir wine, gently mashing fruit with a wooden spoon, then add sparkling water to taste, starting with 1 cup.
