Give Your Wine a Cocktail Makeover!

Want to dress up your glass of wine? For a tasty treat, try making simple champagne and wine cocktails!

Wine: Ruffino Prosecco

Turn it into: Sparkling Sunrise cocktail

Add 1/4 teaspoon of sweet balsamic vinegar (ones from MODENA Italy are best as they’re sweetest) to the bottom of a flute.
Pour in 1/2 teaspoon of St. Germain (elderflower liqueur)
Add a twist of orange

Wine: Moschofilero (a Greek white wine)

Turn it into: Herbal Delight

Start with 4-5 ounces dry white wine
Add a splash of tonic water
Add chopped fresh basil
Add chopped fresh mint
Serve on the rocks

Wine: Shiraz (We like 2010 Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet)

Turn it into: Shiraz Sangria

4 to 5 ounces wine
Add a splash of cognac
Add a dash of orange juice
Add muddled raspberries and blueberries
Serve on the rocks

Sip and savor as you enjoy the last few weeks of summer!!
