Hot Frenchman

Would you care for a Hot Frenchman? Yesterday I enjoyed the tastiest Hot Frenchman. Why, I’d love a Hot Frenchman! Ok, I’ll stop. But I can’t stop chuckling over the title of this drink. It reminds me of this guy I met once who, wait. Nevermind. I’m married and this is a family blog. Anyway, this is nothing more than a warm basic sangria, in which case it would be a Hot Spaniard? 

4 oz red wine
3/4 oz orange liqueur like Grand Marnier or Triple Sec
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 oz orange juice
1/4 oz lemon juice
1 twist orange peel
1 twist lemon peel

Heat well in a heat-resistant glass or cup. Stir, add twists of lemon and orange peel, and serve. Ooh la la!
