January – the month of fresh starts, new goals, and, for many, a conscious effort to embrace a healthier lifestyle. As we reset, reflect, and refresh, it's only natural to re-evaluate our habits.
In this blog, we'll explore a lighter way to wine o’clock with 3 delightful recipes as well as convenient options for those who prefer to keep things fuss-free. So, let's kick things off with a refreshing twist to your favourite glass of wine – the wine spritzer!
Whether you're a fan of red, white, or rosé, the wine spritzer is an easy and effervescent cocktail that is sure to tickle your taste buds in all the right ways. The beauty of this drink lies in its simplicity: Just mix your chosen wine with soda water over ice, garnish with fruits, et voilà!
Red Spritzer
For red wine lovers, the magic ratio is equal parts. This creates a delightful red wine spritzer that's lighter on the alcohol content as well as the calorie count. The addition of fruit is for added freshness, so feel free to play around choosing your favourites or what’s in season.
White Spritzer
On the other hand, if you lean towards white, opt for a ratio that contains more wine than soda water. The result? A crisp and effervescent drink that's perfect for sipping as you unwind after a long day. Garnish it with a twist of lemon to elevate the citrusy notes and add a zing to your sip.
Rosé Spritzer
For rosé lovers, the recommended ratio is the same as a white wine spritzer. This combination promises a crisp and fizzy drink that complements the inherent fruity and floral notes of rosé. To take it up a notch, consider garnishing your spritzer with fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or mint. The herbal infusion adds a layer of complexity to your sip, creating a well-balanced and aromatic experience.
