1. Add sugar to your dispensing container, then pour wine over sugar, stirring until all the sugar has dissolved.
2. Add vodka, stir well.
3. Thinly slice lemons, limes, and peaches (make sure these are clean and fuzz free!), add to wine/vodka mix.
4. Pit the cherries. I don’t have a pitter so I remove the stems, place the cherry stem side down on the top of the wine bottle and press the pit out with a skewer. Messy, but effective! You can use a lighter cherry to keep the cocktail clear, but I prefer the taste (and the pink tinge) that bing cherries give to the alcohol.
5. Mix all ingredients well and let sit in the refrigerator for at least and hour to let flavors meld! (This is a great second-day drink!)
6. Just before serving, pour in the can of seltzer water for a bit of fizz.
7. Garnish with mint leaves.
