10 minutes, plus 30 minutes steeping Serves 4 to 6

Pomegranate, apple and orange steeped in red wine, then lengthened with chilled Liquid RELAX so it stays long and fizzy rather than heavy. Make the fruit base first and top it up as people arrive.

Ingredients

1 orange, cut into wedges
1 apple, sliced thinly
Seeds of 1 pomegranate
1 stick rhubarb or a handful of berries, optional
1 bottle light red wine, chilled
2 cans Liquid RELAX, chilled
Fresh basil or mint, to finish
Plenty of ice

Method

1
Layer the orange, apple, pomegranate and rhubarb into a large jug.
2
Pour over the red wine and leave the fruit to steep for about 30 minutes in the fridge.
3
Top slowly with the chilled Liquid RELAX so you keep the bubbles.
4
Add ice, stir once with a long spoon, drop in the herbs and pour.

Cook's notes

For a zero-alcohol version, swap the wine for chilled hibiscus tea and pomegranate juice, and use three cans.
Keep the fruit chunky. Anything too fine turns the jug cloudy.
