(Sangria Blanca)
One 1.5-liter bottle dry white wine, such as Fontana Candida Frascati
1 ½ cups French (or your favorite) brandy
1 cup superfine sugar
1 liter (or quart) bottle seltzer or sparkling mineral water
2 lemons
4 limes
4 juice oranges
Stir the wine, brandy and superfine sugar together in a punch bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the seltzer. Cut the citrus fruits in half, then in half again. Squeeze each piece into the punch bowl and drop in the squeezed pieces. Leave at room temperature for up to an hour or two. Just before you serve, add a tray or two of ice and serve with additional ice if you like.
