Orange Wine
Print Friendly and PDFPrint Friendly
Friends gave us Seville oranges.  They are bitter - the oranges (not the friends), but are fantastic for marmalade and this!    Add this to sparkling water or sip over ice. 
1 750 ml. bottle rosé wine
1/2 cup vodka
1/2 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 cinnamon stick
4 Seville oranges, zested and juiced
1 navel orange, zested and juiced
  1. Combine all ingredients in a large glass jar that has been sterilized.  (You can do this in the dishwasher or in a large pot of water on the stove - boil for 10 minutes.  Make sure there is a rack on the bottom.  The glass should NOT touch the bottom of the pot.
  2. Cover tightly with a jar lid and let stand in a cool, dark place for up to two weeks shaking every few days. 
  3. Strain through a coffee filter and funnel into clean glass bottles.  Cork and refrigerate for up to one year.
  4. Serve mixed with sparkling water for a refreshing cocktail or straight over ice.
