Drink of the Day: Nutty Berry Wine Spritzer
Good Monday morning to all of you! As promised, to live up to my end of the bargain, here is a new cocktail for your imbibing pleasure for the beginning of the work week. A perfect treat for this time of the year, it gives you a refreshing beverage to enjoy during the dog days of summer.
I love white wine for these types of cocktails due to their complexity and how well it plays with other ingredients when used in the right moderation. I came up with this cocktail for a list of summer specialties at Twiisted Sushi Grill and Bar, where I am now the bar manager. You will be seeing quite a lot of cocktails I made for them these coming weeks. At least you will know where to come to get one made if you don’t feel like preparing it for yourself.
A very smooth and light choice for your poolside pleasure. Enjoy your week!
3/4 oz. Raspberry Liqueur
3/4 oz. Amaretto
1/2 oz. Simple Syrup
3 oz. White Wine (keep in mind that the type you use will make the difference on the flavor of this. Try to use the wine that you enjoy on its own).
Soda Water
Method: Build this in a collins glass by first pouring the first three ingredients to measure. Use a bar spoon to stir up the ingredients. Add ice. Pour in the white wine to measure. Top off with soda water. Garnish with fresh blueberries and a lemon half-wheel.
