You'll need

1 drink

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add strawberries and apple to a highball glass and press gently with a muddler or the end of a wooden spoon to release the juice.

  2. 2

    Fill the glass with ice cubes.

  3. 3

    Pour in white wine and apple brandy.

  4. 4

    Top with soda water.

  5. 5

    Give it one gentle stir.

  6. 6

    Garnish with a lime wheel and a lemon wheel.

Why build it in the glass? Nothing here needs shaking, and pouring straight in keeps the soda water fizzy.
