Cava is a Spanish sparkling wine with less acidity than Champagne; you may substitute another sparkling wine, such as prosecco, if you prefer. Top each beverage with a mint sprig for a fragrant garnish.

This was great for a small get together. The only thing I didn't like was how the raspberries got so smushy. I left them out the second time I made it, and it was perfect. I also used Prosecco instead of cava.07/30/09

I made this for my bunko group, and the first batch was gone in less than two minutes. I used Peach Champagne because Cava wasn't immediately available in our area. It is a definite repeat! We loved it!06/19/09
