Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup sugar
⅓ cup water
¼ cup packed torn fresh mint leaves
8 sprigs fresh mint for garnish
1 (750 milliliter) bottle Sauvignon Blanc, chilled
1 cup fresh orange juice, chilled
½ cup Triple Sec or other orange-flavored liqueur
3 cups bite-size wedges of cantaloupe
1 ½ cups bite-size wedges of seedless watermelon

Steps:

  • Stir together sugar, water, and torn mint in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Simmer 1 minute, then cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Strain syrup mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pushing on mint to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard mint leaves. Chill syrup until ready to use.

  • Pour or ladle over ice, if desired, into 8 glasses and garnish each with a mint leaf or sprig.
