Sangria

I tried to make Sangria from the El Bulli recipe. It tastes like a cross between traditional Sangria and mulled wine, and was pretty easy to make.

The wine part starts with a 5:1 mixture of wine and sugar boiled with oranges rinds, peppercorns, and bay leaves until reduced by half. Then 3 times its volume of red wine, 1/3 its volume of simple syrup, and 1/3 its volume of Curacao are added. The recipe also adds ginger and glucose but I didn't have any, I'm guessing the glucose would have helped separate the two halves of the drink.

The juice part is a 4:2:2:1 mixture of orange, tangerine, peach, and apple juices with a little lime juice added.
