Directions
-
Put the cut up fruit, ginger and Grand Marnier into a pitcher and mash a little bit just to get the juice out of the fruit.
-
Muddle together the mint and sugar with a pestle and mortar (or shaker, or muddler, or whatever gadget you have) until it's a relatively fine paste, and add it to the pitcher.
-
Add the wine and lemon juice, and stir everything together. Let it chill in the fridge for at least an hour, then add the 7-UP and stir.
