Peach Salad with Melon and Lillet image

No one can resist a platter of fruit at peak juicy sweetness. An artful mix of shapes-peach wedges, cantaloupe crescents, round watermelon slices and balls-makes it even more enticing. Garnish with small basil leaves for a hint of anise, and a splash of Lillet Rosé to teleport your gang to Provençe.

I found that the lillet overpowered the other flavors in the salad. Next time, I'll use less of it.

This salad is so easy to make, and it's a great way to use up ripe peaches and melon. I'll definitely be making it again this summer.
