Garden Sangria

• 4 oranges, sliced
• 1 gallon dry white wine
• 1 cup Grand Marnier
• 2 cups brandy
• 2 bunches lemon verbena (or any combination of mint, lemon balm, and pineapple sage)
• fresh seasonal fruit (such as, seedless grapes, apple slices, pear slices, and soft fruits such as strawberries, peaches,)

1. Place oranges, wine, orange liqueur, brandy, and fresh herb sprigs in a large glass container; cover and refrigerate overnight or for several days.
2. Four to six hours before serving, add the chopped firmer fruits, and the sliced lemons and limes.
3. Pour sangria into a glass pitcher, adding freshly sliced seasonal fruit; replace the herb sprigs with fresh ones, since they will have discolored.
4. Add frozen fruit just prior to a serving, as it will keep it chilled.
5. Pour sangria into long-stemmed glasses with a splash of club soda or champagne and add a fresh herb sprig.
