White Sangria with Peaches and Grand Marnier

Source: Let The Flames Begin by Chris Schlesinger and John Willoughby.

This is another version of a wine cooler. Any crisp, relatively dry white wine will do the trick here; just avoid chardonnay.

Plenty of ice cubes
1 (750 ml) bottle crisp white wine such as pinot gris
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)

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.

Serves 4.
