The mix of ripe fruit and alcohol reminds us of sangria -- but eaten with a spoon. Ingredients 4 cups fruit, sliced or pitted if necessary ½ cup sugar 3 sprigs basil, plus leaves for garnish 1 ½ cup white rum, gin, or cachaca Juice of 1 lime Directions Place fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, grapes, pears, and plums in a large bowl. Toss with sugar and basil sprigs. Stir in alcohol to cover fruit. Refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours, stirring a few times. To serve, remove basil sprigs, stir in lime juice, and garnish with basil leaves. Rate it Print
