On the Rocks: Sparkling Shiraz Punch.

Sparkling Shiraz Punch is the perfect concoction for Girls’ Night – not too sweet and just fizzy enough!

Ingredients:
– 15 mint sprigs
– 1 ounce whipping-quality pasteurized egg white, lightly beaten
– 1 cup superfine sugar
– 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 6 lemons)
– 2 bottles sparkling Shiraz
– 3 liters club soda
– 1 1/2 cups St. Germain Elderflower liqueur

Brush mint with egg white. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar, and let dry on a wire rack. Mix lemon juice and remaining sugar in a large punch bowl, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add Shiraz, club soda, and liqueur. Serve with ice, and garnish with sugared mint sprigs. Serves 15.
