Ingredients:

Serves 6

1 bottle dry white wine (such as dry riesling)
3 tsp. Midori melon liqueur
2 cups peeled, seeded and cubed fresh watermelon
2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
1 lime, thinly sliced
1/4 cup sugar

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a pitcher and stir, crushing some of the fruit with a spoon. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or overnight to let the flavors marry before serving. Use within 4 days of making. Serve over ice, including some of the fruit.
