Berry cocktail with a mint base
Description
A berry cocktail with white sparkling wine is prepared using a compote made from mint sprigs and apple. This is a very delicious, refreshing drink perfect for parties on hot days. You and your guests will definitely enjoy it. If you're preparing it for children, you can replace the wine with soda or mineral water, or simply make extra mint compote. Ice cubes can be substituted with any frozen berries. The cocktail can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator—the longer it sits, the more infused it becomes with the fresh berries. Serve chilled.
