Sangria Blanca - more thoughts

Okay, so here are my preliminary thoughts on a non-citrus Sangria Blanca

1 cup Brandy (not flavored)
1/2 cup Amaretto (vice orange liqueur)
No sugar
1 thinly sliced peach
1 cubed/sliced mango
1 pint raspberries
Cava

Theoretical method: mix Brandy and Amaretto together, add peach and mango, and let sit. Before serving add raspberries and Cava.

Possible garnish: Use a melon-baller (or other small scooper) to create small scoops of Mango/Tropical/Peach sorbet. (Last time I wanted to attempt this, I could not find a melon baller. Of course, I only looked at the grocery store.) Add a couple to glass to help keep Sangria chilled.

I think the woody flavors of mango will complement the sweet peach/amaretto and tart raspberries, well. Here's hoping!
