Directions
If lemon verbena or lemon balm are unavailable, mint may be substituted.
Place oranges, lemon, lime and other seasonal fruits in a large container.
Add wine, orange liqueur, brandy and herbs. Cover and refrigerate at least overnight, or up to three days.
Fill a clear glass pitcher with sangria, adding more freshly sliced seasonal fruits, frozen peaches and/or blueberries and fresh long-stemmed herbs.
(Soft fruits such as fresh strawberries or sliced kiwi also may be added before serving.)
Pour into wine glasses with a splash of club soda or champagne, a tiny cluster of grapes and a fresh herb sprig.
