- 1/4 cup ruby port (Port 红酒,红酒里的一种)
- 1/4 cup Cointreau ( orange-flavored liqueur ,flavoring agent)
- 2 chilled 750-ml bottles sparkling wine
- 1 liter well-chilled club soda
- Ice cubes
- Orange and lemon slices, for garnish
In a large punch bowl, stir the lemon juice with the sugar until the sugar dissolves. Add the brandy, sherry, port, Cointreau, sparkling wine and club soda and stir gently until blended. Add the ice and garnish with the fruit.
Tip: When making a punch, opt for affordable, high-quality wines and spirits. For the sparkling wine, try Cava from Spain. If you don’t have Cointreau stocked in your bar, try using Grand Marnier or another triple sec.
