Directions
- 1
Wash and slice the fruit as desired. I recommend slicing the grapes in half, and other fruits into cubes or thin slices.

Place the fruit in a large bowl, add the sugar, and toss gently. Leave to macerate for at least 5 minutes, but preferably overnight in the fridge. Toss occasionally as the fruit macerates to encourage the sugar to dissolve.

Stir the brandy and liquor into the macerated fruit, then place the mixture in a large pitcher. Fill it three-quarters of the way with the chilled white wine, then stir gently to combine.

Let the fruit infuse the wine in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, for the best flavor, or serve immediately if you're in a hurry.

To serve, fill a large glass with ice. Add some of the soaked fruit to the glass, then fill with the wine, leaving about a centimeter of space at the top. Fill the glass the rest of the way with sparkling water and enjoy immediately.
