Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes or other fruits. It has a long history dating back thousands of years and is enjoyed by many as a versatile drink on its own or as a key ingredient in various cocktails.
Wine comes in many different styles and varieties, each with its unique characteristics. Some popular types of wine include red wine, white wine, rosé wine, sparkling wine, and fortified wine. Each type has its own flavor profile, ranging from dry to sweet, and can be paired with different types of food.
While wine is often enjoyed on its own, it can also be used as a mixer in cocktails, adding complexity and depth of flavor. Here are a few examples of cocktails that incorporate wine:
1. Sangria: A traditional Spanish drink, sangria is made with red wine, fruit slices, sweeteners like sugar or honey, and often includes a splash of brandy. It is usually served over ice and is a refreshing and fruity option.
2. Spritzers: Wine spritzers are a popular choice for a lighter and more refreshing cocktail. They typically combine wine, such as white or rosé, with soda water or sparkling water, and are often garnished with a slice of citrus fruit.
3. Kir: The Kir cocktail is made by combining white wine, typically a dry white like Chardonnay, with crème de cassis, a blackcurrant liqueur. It offers a slightly sweet and fruity flavor.
4. Mimosa: A classic brunch cocktail, the Mimosa combines sparkling wine, often Champagne or Prosecco, with orange juice. It’s a bubbly and citrusy drink that is perfect for celebratory occasions.
5. Wine Cocktails: Wine can also be used as a base for more complex cocktails. For example, the Aperol Spritz combines Prosecco, Aperol, and soda water for a bittersweet and fizzy drink. Another example is the Wine Margarita, which blends white wine, tequila, lime juice, and triple sec for a unique twist on a classic margarita.
When using wine as a cocktail mixer, it’s important to choose the right type of wine that complements the other ingredients in the cocktail. Experimentation and personal taste preferences play a key role in discovering new and exciting wine-based cocktails.
Overall, wine is a versatile beverage that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a component in various cocktails. Its wide range of flavors and styles allows for endless possibilities when it comes to mixing it into delicious and creative drinks.

How to make the Sunny Sex – First off, Mix the Orange Juice with the malibu in a separate glass, pour the FireWater® Cinnamon Schnapps in the martini glass, the Orange Mix over it and when it’s settled, pour the Vodka slowly over the Mixture. If you want you can stir now (in that case the above directions are void) – but i prefer not to. Now’s the time for the Red Wine. It doesn’t have to be anything special: I tend to use a Lambrusco because of the pearliness, also the amount of wine you use will affect the taste of the drink immensely. I use between 1/2 cl to 1 cl, not more, otherwise the taste of the wine will dominate too much. To get your optimal taste you’ll just have to experiment a little back and forth.
