Notes

You can use a bottle of dry, crisp white wine, like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio instead of sparkling wine.
If you prefer your cocktails a little sweeter, add 1-2 teaspoons of simple syrup or honey to the pitcher when you add the fruit and muddle together.
To make the cocktail sparkling without sparkling wine, or to dilute it a little, serve it in a glass topped with sparkling water or club soda.
