Ingredients:
- 750 ml dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 0.5 cup orange liqueur
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 lime, sliced into rounds
- 1 cup mango nectar
- 2 cups club soda, chilled
- 2 tbsp agave nectar
Instructions:
- Prep the mangoes. Peel and cube 2 large ripe mangoes, discarding the pit. Note: Keep cubes small so they fit into a wine glass easily.
- Slice the strawberries. Hull and slice 1 lb fresh strawberries into 3mm thick rounds until you have a pile of red discs.
- Macerate the fruit. Place mangoes, strawberries, and 1 sliced lime into a large pitcher.
- Add the sweetener. Drizzle 2 tbsp agave nectar over the fruit and stir gently.
- Infuse with liqueur. Pour in 0.5 cup orange liqueur and 1 cup mango nectar until the fruit looks glossy and coated.
- Incorporate the wine. Pour the 750 ml dry white wine over the mixture.
- Stir gently. Use a long spoon to combine until the nectar swirls disappear into the wine.
- Wait (optional but better). Let it sit for 5 minutes until the wine takes on a slight pinkish orange tint.
- Finish with bubbles. Pour in 2 cups club soda just before serving to maintain the carbonation.
- Taste and adjust. Sip a small amount and add a drop more agave if the wine was exceptionally dry.
