Notes
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
