Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves, washed and dried
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) fruity white wine
  • 2 limes, thinly sliced
  • 2 oranges, thinly sliced
  • 2 nectarines or peaches, peeled or unpeeled, and sliced
  • 2 cups club soda, chilled

Method

  • Bring the first 3 ingredients to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat, add half the mint leaves, and let cool. Cover and let infuse for 8 hours or overnight. Strain to remove the vanilla bean and mint leaves.
  • In a large pitcher, combine the sugar mixture, remaining mint leaves, wine, and sliced fruits and allow to chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Stir in cold club soda before serving over ice.
  • The spritzers go well with chicken or fish straight off the grill.
