Instructions
- Prepare the Sangria Base: In a large pitcher, combine the orange liqueur, fresh orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.
- Add the Citrus Fruits: Add the orange, lemon, and lime slices to the pitcher. Gently muddle the fruit slices with a spoon to release their juices and flavors.
- Pour in the Sparkling Wine: Slowly pour the chilled sparkling wine into the pitcher. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to lose too many bubbles.

Notes
- Add more simple syrup or a splash of fruit juice for a sweeter sangria.
- To enhance the citrus flavor, consider adding a few grapefruit slices or a splash of grapefruit juice.
