Introduction

About this Recipe

By: Linda Eads

This refreshing non-alcoholic spring/summer drink is inherently sweet thanks to the rich combination of fresh fruits and juices. The addition of sparkling water right before serving helps balance the sweetness.

For an adults-only version of this drink, swap out the unsweetened grape juice with an equal amount of dry red wine.

Cheers!

Ingredients

  • ½ C. blueberries
  • 1 C. strawberries, sliced
  • 1 large orange, sliced
  • 1 medium ripe peach, sliced
  • 2 C. unsweetened grape juice
  • 1 C. freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 cinnamon sticks, optional
  •  2 C. sparkling water or club soda
  • Ice, to serve

Optional, To Garnish:

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

​Add the fruit to a large pitcher and gently muddle with a large wooden spoon to release the juices.

Step 2

​Add the grape juice, orange juice, and cinnamon sticks.

Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours.
