  4 oz. brandy
4 oz. Cointreau or Triple Sec
1½ cups fruity red wine, such as Zinfandel or Spanish Garnacha

In a large, heavy glass pitcher, combine the brandy, Cointreau, red wine, and Sweet-and-Sour Mix. Reserve 4 lime and 4 orange wedges for serving, and add the remaining citrus fruit to the pitcher. Stir together well and refrigerate for at least 1, and up to 4 hours before serving time.
