Ingredients:

  • 1 bottle (750ml) dry white wine (Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vodka or brandy
  • 2 cups (480ml) lemonade
  • 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced into wedges (approx. 1 lb / 450g)
  • 1 cup (150g) seedless green grapes, halved
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced into rounds

Instructions:

  1. Pour the 750ml bottle of dry white wine, 1/2 cup of vodka, 2 cups of lemonade, and 2 tbsp of sugar into your large glass pitcher.
  2. Stir the liquid vigorously for 60 seconds until the sugar crystals have completely disappeared and the liquid looks clear. Note: If the sugar doesn't dissolve, you'll get pockets of syrup in the glass.
  3. Carefully slice your peaches into consistent wedges and halve your green grapes.
  4. Gently fold in the peach wedges, halved grapes, and lemon rounds. Use a slow, lifting motion until the fruit is evenly distributed without bruising the delicate peach flesh.
  5. Cover the pitcher tightly with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent the wine from absorbing fridge odors.
  6. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours. Until the liquid is ice cold and the peaches have absorbed some of the wine.
  7. For a more potent, deep flavored version, let it sit overnight. The longer it steeps, the more the alcohol penetrates the fruit.
  8. Give the pitcher one final, gentle stir before pouring into glasses filled with ice.
