3 Drinks You Can Make (Wine Edition!)
Hey Wine Lovers! The team at Boone’s wanted to bless you with a couple of recipes like we usually do- but we were thinking: We hardly ever do cocktails/recipes with wine! So let’s change that. Here are 3 easy drinks you can make, with wine!
Red Wine Spritzer (Super Easy!)
A refreshing drink called a “spritzer” is made by mixing wine with carbonated water. It’s perfect for hot summer days or when you’re looking for a lighter drink option. You’ll need the following to make a red wine spritzer:
1/2 cup of red wine
1/2 cup of sparkling water or club soda
1 slice of lemon or orange
Directions: Fill a glass with ice and pour in the red wine. Add club soda or sparkling water and a slice of orange or lemon to decorate.
White Wine Sangria (Always Popular)
Sangria is a popular drink in Spain that’s made with wine, fruit, and brandy. It’s a great drink for parties or any time you want something fruity and cool. You’ll need the following to make white wine sangria:
1 white wine bottle
½ cup of brandy
1/4 cup of sugar
1 apple, sliced
1 pear, sliced
1 orange, sliced
1/2 cup of sparkling water or club soda
Directions: Mix the white wine, brandy, and sugar in a large pitcher. Stir the mixture until the sugar is gone. Add the sliced fruit and let it sit for at least 2 hours in the fridge. Add the club soda or sparkling water right before serving.
Rosé Margarita (A unique choice!)
Margaritas are a classic cocktail that are typically made with tequila, lime juice, and triple sec. But have you ever had a margarita made with rosé wine? It gives a classic drink a fun and unexpected twist. To make a rosé margarita, you’ll need:
1/2 cup of rosé wine
2 oz tequila
1 oz lime juice
1 oz triple sec
Salt or sugar for rimming the glass
Lime wedge for garnish
Directions: Rim a glass with salt or sugar. In a shaker filled with ice, combine the rosé wine, tequila, lime juice, and triple sec. Shake until well combined and strain into the prepared glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.
