GREAT RECIPE! I didn’t have cherry liqueur so I substituted for a jar of maraschino cherries. I have a sun tea pitcher, so I used a whole bottle of wine and a whole bottle of soda. Taste’s great! I spent less than 5 dollars on fruit, about 10 dollars on wine and 78 cents on soda… CHEAP and DELICIOUS!
