Boxed Wine Sangria

You're having a party and you want to make a lot of sangria, you want it to taste good, and hopefully, be economical (i.e., cheap).  Here's a great recipe using boxed wine which is not only reasonably priced but is also very tasty.

BOXED WINE SANGRIA

1 1/2 cups brandy
1 cup Grand Marnier
1 cup orange juice, fresh-squeezed if possible
3/4 cup lemon juice, fresh-squeezed if possible
1 cup sugar
1 3-liter box red wine, preferably Merlot or Shiraz
4 peaches, thinly sliced
48 oz. club soda, chilled

In a 2-gallon container, mix brandy, Grand Marnier, orange juice, lemon juice, and sugar.  Stir gently until sugar dissolves.  Add wine and peaches and stir gently.  Refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours.

To serve, pour 1/3 mixture into large pitcher half-filled with ice.  Add 16 oz. club soda.  Pour into glasses.  When pitcher is empty, repeat with 1/3 mixture and 16 oz. club soda two more times.

Makes about 30 servings.
