Method
Prepare Ingredients
Chill and slice
Chill the white wine bottle in the refrigerator until cold (ideally 2–3 hours). While the wine chills, thinly slice 1/2 lemon, 1/2 green apple (cored), and 1/4 cucumber. Gently bruise the mint leaves by clapping them between your palms or lightly muddling them to release aroma.
Build the Drink
Combine base and fruit
In a large pitcher (about 2 quart capacity), pour the chilled bottle of dry white wine. Add the sliced lemon, apple, cucumber, and bruised mint leaves. Stir gently to combine so the fruit is evenly distributed.
Sweeten and balance
Add 2 tablespoons of simple syrup (or agave) and 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pitcher. Stir once more and taste. If you prefer a lighter, more effervescent drink, add up to 1 cup sparkling water now; otherwise omit for a fuller-bodied serving.
Serve
Assemble glasses
Fill 4 white wine glasses with about 3/4 cup ice (or desired amount). Pour the Charles Mignon mixture into the glasses, making sure each glass receives some fruit slices and mint. If the pitcher was diluted with sparkling water earlier, pour gently to preserve bubbles.
