Instructions
Slice the orange, lemon, and lime into thin rounds, leaving the peel on, and set aside.
In a large pitcher, combine the dry white wine, orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup. Stir well to mix.
Add the slices of orange, lemon, and lime to the pitcher. Gently muddle the fruit using a wooden spoon to release some of the citrus flavors.
