No one can resist a platter of fruit at peak juicy sweetness. An artful mix of shapes—peach wedges, cantaloupe crescents, round watermelon slices and balls—makes it even more enticing. Garnish with small basil leaves for a hint of anise, and a splash of Lillet Rosé to teleport your gang to Provençe.
