Ingredients

Scale
  • 750 ml chilled Pink Moscato Wine (e.g., Barefoot or Cupcake Vineyards)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) freshly squeezed fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh orange juice
  • 2 cups (480 ml) chilled ginger ale or sparkling soda
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) simple syrup (optional)
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) fresh raspberries
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
  • Ice cubes (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Chill all ingredients: Place pink Moscato, ginger ale, and juices in the fridge for at least 2 hours before mixing.
  2. Prepare the fruit: Slice strawberries and measure raspberries. Keep them chilled. Optionally, muddle a few berries at the bottom of the pitcher for extra flavor.
  3. Juice the citrus: Using a citrus juicer, squeeze 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/4 cup orange juice. Strain to remove seeds and pulp.
  4. Mix the base: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine chilled pink Moscato, fresh lemon juice, fresh orange juice, and simple syrup if using. Stir gently for about 20 seconds.
  5. Add the fizz: Slowly pour in chilled ginger ale or sparkling soda. Stir gently again and immediately add ice cubes.
  6. Garnish and serve: Add sliced strawberries, raspberries, and fresh mint leaves. Give a light stir and serve immediately, garnished with a sprig of mint on the rim.

Notes

Keep all ingredients chilled before mixing to maintain fizz and freshness. Do not stir vigorously after adding ginger ale to preserve bubbles. Fresh fruit is preferred over frozen for best texture and flavor. Simple syrup is optional and can be adjusted to taste. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute pink Moscato with sparkling white grape juice or non-alcoholic sparkling wine.
