| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. The most crucial point in making this-and the following two-refreshing summer drinks is to be sure that the Pitcher or bowl, glasses, wine, Perrier or club soda, and fruit are all thoroughly chilled.
|
2. Place the fruits of your choice in the pitcher first, then add the cherries and the brandy, Benedictine and maraschino liqueur.
|
3. Place the pitcher or bowl in the refrigerator (or freezer) for at least 1 hour(˝ hour if you use the freezer).
|
4. Remove and fill with ice cubes. A solid block of ice that fits the pitcher or bowl is even better; it will be more attractive, and will not dilute the drink by melting too quickly.
|
|
5. Just before serving, pour in the champagne or Rhine wine and the sparkling water. Stir briefly with a glass stirring rod or a bar spoon and serve in chilled wine glasses or punch cups.
