Recipe FAQs

→ What types of cheese work best?

Firm cheeses like aged cheddar, Gouda, or Manchego hold their shape well and complement the sweetness of grapes.

→ Can I use non-alcoholic sparkling options?

Yes, sparkling grape juice or non-alcoholic sparkling beverages work well for the drizzle without altering flavor balance.

→ Is fresh mint necessary?

Mint is optional but adds a fresh, bright note that lifts the overall flavor profile.

Arrange on a platter and serve immediately to maintain freshness and prevent grape juice from seeping.

→ Can I substitute other fruits?

Seedless grapes are ideal for size and texture, but small berries or chunks of firm fruit can be used carefully.
