Instructions 👩🍳
Step-by-step:
- Prepare the fruit: Remove the peach stones, peel and core the pineapple, and cut the fruit into pieces for serving. Wash and drain the berries. Refer to the illustrated recipe for the exact preparation details.
- Make the wine and fruit base: Put the peaches and pineapple in a punch bowl, add the white wine and refrigerate so the fruit flavours the wine.
- Add berries and sparkling wine: Gently fold in the berries and pour in the sparkling wine when ready to serve. Stir carefully to keep the fruit intact and retain the bubbles.
- Serve the fruit punch: Ladle the punch into glasses, distributing the fruit between them. Keep the remaining punch chilled.
Sparkling fruit punch with peaches and berries
Peaches, pineapple and a generous handful of berries: this sparkling fruit punch brings plenty of summer color to the table. White wine and a splash of lemon keep it fresh, and the sparkling wine goes in just as everyone is ready for a glass.
Prepare the fruit and wine
Chill the white wine and sparkling wine. Wash all the fruit before cutting, handling the raspberries gently. Pit and cut the peaches; peel the pineapple, remove its tough core and cut the flesh into bite-size pieces. Hull the washed strawberries and cut larger ones.
Squeeze the lemon and remove the seeds. Stir its juice and the sugar with some of the white wine in a clean punch bowl until the sugar dissolves. Add the peaches, pineapple and remaining white wine. Cover and refrigerate so the fruit can flavor the wine. Keep the prepared berries covered and refrigerated separately.
Finish and serve
Add the strawberries and raspberries shortly before serving. Pour in the cold sparkling wine and stir gently. Ladle both fruit and wine into each glass. Keep the punch cold and refrigerate any leftovers promptly.
For another occasion, a mojito brings citrus and bubbles to an individual glass, with mint and white rum instead of wine and mixed fruit.
Leave room for the fruit
Use wide glasses and offer small spoons alongside them. Peach and pineapple pieces are easier to enjoy without fishing them through a narrow opening.
Add a little herb aroma
A small washed mint sprig is an optional garnish for each glass. Leave it whole rather than crushing it into the berries.
Cool the bowl from outside
For serving, stand a suitable punch bowl in a larger container of ice water. Keep that water out of the punch so it does not dilute the wine.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make it ahead?
Prepare and refrigerate the fruit-and-wine base. Keep the delicate berries separate and the sparkling wine sealed until finishing.
Why are the raspberries added late?
They break up easily. Late, gentle mixing helps them stay intact.
Do the pieces of fruit contain alcohol?
Yes. Fruit soaked in wine is also unsuitable for anyone avoiding alcohol.
