Ingredients

Showing the cocktail. Switch to Mocktail for the alcohol-free version.

1 (750 ml) bottle red wine, such as Pinot Noir
1 cup light rum
2 plums, pitted and sliced
1 pint cherries, pitted
1 pint strawberries, sliced
mint sprig, optional
12 oz lime soda
ice, optional
2–3 Richberry halves

How to Make It

Muddle the fruit
Combine the wine, rum, plums, cherries and strawberries in a pitcher or glass bowl, then press and stir with a large spoon to muddle the fruit gently.
Add the soda
Just before serving, stir in the lime soda.
Serve
Pour over ice if you like and add a sprig of mint.
Add the Richberry twist
Just before your first sip, chew 2–3 Richberry halves gently and let them linger for about 30 seconds. Discard any pit, then taste how the sour notes turn sweet.

Richberry changes the taste, not the drink: a cocktail may taste softer, but it is just as strong. Please enjoy it responsibly.
