Ingredients
- 1 750 mL bottle Moscato

Notes
You can adjust the quantities of fruit however you wish. Consider adding the juice from the pineapple chunks into your mix. Prosecco can be replaced with lemon-lime soda. If you don’t want your wine as sweet delete the sugar and substitute Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or Riesling for the Moscato
