How to Make White Wine Cocktails

How to make a white wine cocktail

Do you sometimes wonder how you can whip up a simple white wine cocktail from memory?

We have some tips to help!

Start with your favorite white wine. Crisp, dry white wines like Pinot Grigio, unoaked Chardonnay, or white blends often make the best base for a cocktail.

For an easy wine cocktail without liquor, add seltzer or lemon-lime soda to the wine. Then finish the drink with a squeeze of lemon or lime.

Other tasty additions to a wine cocktail include: peach or pear nectar; pomegranate or raspberry simple syrup; or fresh fruit puree. Top with seltzer or lemon-lime soda, and you have a delicious and refreshing wine cocktail for summer.

Enjoy, and get some inspiration from this Easy White Wine Spritzer recipe!

I love combining a light white wine (or cremant) with Elderflower liqueur! So nice for the summertime

These cocktails all look amazing! I think I am putting the rainbow sangria drink at the top of my list for this summer!

What great ideas! I always feel like a glass of plain wine is too heavy to drink on its own in the summer. I'm looking forward to trying out some of these cocktails!
