Ingredients

  • 1 750-ml Bottle Dry White Wine
  • 1/2 Cup Orange Liqueur
  • 1/4 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Unpeeled Lime Thinly Sliced (remove seeds)
  • 1 Unpeeled Lemon Thinly Sliced (remove seeds)
  • 1 Unpeeled Small Orange Thinly Sliced (remove seeds)
  • 1-1/2 Cups Sliced Fresh Strawberries
  • 1-1/2 Cups Halved Green Grapes
  • 2 Cups Chilled Sparkling Water or Club Soda or more to taste
  • Strawberries With Hulls For Garnish

Instructions

  • Combine the wine, liqueur, sugar and fruit in a large, clear pitcher or beverage server.
  • Refrigerate overnight.
  • At serving time, pour into cocktail glasses filled with ice and top off with club soda.
  • Garnish with strawberries by slicing them part-way up from the bottom and place on the rim of the glass. Or, just spear a couple of blueberries with a decorative toothpick, then stick that into the strawberry and place it on top of the ice in the glass. That's how I garnished mine. The blueberries add a bit of blue for those patriotic holidays.
