Wow! Thanks for posting this. I'm not sure I have a pitcher big enough, as I'm not sure how much 750 ml is. Do you think we could use canned or frozen fruit? Looks great.

ETA: 750 ml = 25 oz.

It's nice to have a premade pitcher or punch bowl of a sangria or a punch type drink so guests can serve themselves during a party. I think frozen fruit would be fine since it is frozen at peak of ripeness & it retains texture. Canned fruit might be too mushy. Love the stemless glassware-seems to be a trend, even for wine & martinis. Looks like something similar sold at Pier One. Enjoy & hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!!!
