Notes
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, but overnight chilling will enhance the flavors even more.
- Use ripe, fresh tropical fruits for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the sugar according to your sweetness preference or substitute with honey or agave syrup.
- White wine options like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio work well for a crisp and fruity base.
- For an alcohol-free version, substitute the white wine and brandy with white grape juice and omit the liqueur.
