If you let this sit long enough it will ferment in to alcohol. I think it’s much better to let it “brew” for 4 days and then add the alcohol.

I love it with a little vodka and Prosecco. Kind of a Spritz. You don’t have to add alcohol. You can just mix with club soda for a refreshing summer drink.

Don’t throw the fruit away when you strain it off. It is great over ice cream or I stir it in to salsa.
