Slice the orange, lemon, lime, strawberries, and peach (or nectarine) into thin rounds or wedges. Set aside.
In a large pitcher, combine the granulated sugar, brandy, and orange liqueur. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves.
Add the orange juice to the pitcher and stir to combine.
Gently muddle 2 sprigs of fresh mint in the pitcher using the back of a spoon to release their flavor.
