Sippin’ like It’s Summer

March 28, 2018

It may be spring, but with snow still inevitable in the Canadian forecast it’s time to move forward like the toasty sun is shining and start to sip a Spring Sangria!

Using fresh fruits and a Two Oceans Sauvignon Blanc with crisp acidity, this Sangria recipe will have you feeling the warm breezes before they actually start blowing.

Here’s how to mix a quick and delicious Sangria that’ll impress your friends!

What you’ll need:

  • 1 bottle Two Oceans Sauvignon Blanc (750ml)
  • 3–4 cups sliced green fruit (lime, apple, honeydew, grapes, kiwi, etc.)
  • 2–3 sprigs fresh basil
  • 2–3 sprigs fresh mint
  • 3⁄4 cup lychee liqueur
  • Soda Water

What you’ll do:

  1. In a large pitcher, combine wine, fruit, herbs, and lychee liqueur. Chill for 4–6 hours.

  2. To serve, pour into glasses over ice and top with chilled soda water.

Note: To make it a spritzer, just skip the liqueur.

Final step:

Call your friends and get ready to sip and dish the T!

Now for those that are still on the red, after all it does pair perfectly with a weekend snow storm, Novas Grand Reserva is the perfect medium-bodied wine to curl up with in front of a roaring fire!

This cherry red organic Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile has flavourful notes of currents and strawberries with a touch of black pepper, tobacco leaf and chocolate!

Either of these choice are the perfect sip for our mysterious and suddenly changing Canadian climate!
