The Fizzy Fiasco: Sparking Wine Drinks

Whether you are celebrating New Years with friends, hosting a shower, or having a dinner party, sparkling wine drinks can add a little extra flare to your entertaining style.  

Should I Serve a Signature Drink?

Regardless of what type of party or event you’re hosting, including a signature drink on the menu is a fun idea.  Not only is it unique, but it will give your guests something to remember.  And just between us, it can make hosting a little bit easier as it’s cost effective without looking cheap.  When you keep it simple with one signature drink instead of offering full bar options, it simplifies hosting while also adding a personalized element.

What’s the Best Sparkling Wine Drinks?

While there are lots of alcohols you can include in a signature drink, at Grovedale we love sparkling wine drinks.  There’s just something about bubbles in a fun hue that makes us feel warm and fuzzy inside.  That might be sparkling wine drinks talking, but that’s ok!

The Fizzy Fiasco

 Ingredients:

• 4 oz sparkling wine (your favorite bubbly, because you deserve it)
• 1 oz elderflower liqueur (for that fancy-pants touch)
• 1 oz cranberry juice (because antioxidants totally cancel out all the appetizers
• A splash of club soda
• Garnish: Fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary (it’s garnish, not a chore!)

This sparkling wine drink is light and refreshing and sure to be a crowd pleaser.  For a hostess with the mostess tip, we recommend printing out a few recipe cards for your guests to take home or have the recipe printed and framed for them photograph.  We know they’ll want to recreate this one at their next celebration!

If you’re looking for the perfect wine for this creation, we recommend stocking up on Bubbly Grüner Veltliner.  It offers the perfect blend of citrus and sweetness for a light and refreshing sparkling wine drink.
