Amanda's Sangria

I had a bunch of my best girlfriends over for tacos this last weekend where I made the best sangria ever! Instead of using brandy I used Cointreau which gave it more of a sweet orange flavor and it wasn't as strong. Most sangrias require sugar, but with the addition of orange juice and the two liquors, not sugar is necessary. Try a white sangria by using a dry white wine instead of red. Cheers!

1 bottle of red wine (I prefer a merlot or cab)
4 oz Cointreau (2 1/2 shots)
2 oz peach schnapps (1 1/2 shots)
2 cups orange juice
1 orange, sliced
1 apple, sliced

Combine all ingredients into a large pitcher and stir. Pour over ice and enjoy!
