Grand Marnier, peaches, and tropical fruit juices blend with dry white wine to make this sangria a unique and potent alcoholic beverage for parties.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Plenty of ice cubes
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) crisp white wine such as pinot gris (see note below)
  • 1 cup tropical fruit juice such as mango, papaya or guava
  • 2 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into 8 wedges each
  • 1/2 cup Grand Marnier®
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced (not peeled)
  • 1 lime, thinly sliced (not peeled)

Preparation:

Fill a large pitcher halfway with ice, then pour in the wine, fruit juice, peach wedges, Grand Marnier®, and about three-quarters of the orange and lime slices. Stir until cold and well mixed.

Pour into glasses, adding a few of the reserved fruit slices to each.

Yield: 4 servings
