1/4 cup mint leaves, plus several leaves for garnish

Juice of four limes (about 8 tbsp)

1 bottle of Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Moscato

*Entertaining Tip: for a no-fuss crowd pleaser, double or triple this recipe and serve it in a large punch bowl. Make a gorgeous ice ring by adding lime slices, mint leaves and water to a plain Bundt pan. Freeze, then unmold and add to your punch just before party time!
