Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries

- 2 peaches, thinly sliced
- ΒΌ cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 bottle white wine
- 2 cups peach juice or orange juice

Instructions
- Place the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and peach slices into a large pitcher. Gently press the fruit with a wooden spoon or muddler to help release some of the natural juices.
- Add the lemon slices and fresh mint leaves to the pitcher.
- Pour in the white wine and peach or orange juice, then stir until combined.
