I am so excited to be sharing the recipe for this gorgeous Raspberry Port Sparkler from the California Wines Cocktails for the Holidays eBook that I photographed last fall. I am SO proud of my friend KC of the G-Free Foodie for developing all 7 of the gorgeous drinks we photographed and I can't wait for you to download your FREE copy, so you can check it out too!!
Let's take a peak at all the winetails featured in this eBook shall we?
Raspberry Port Sparkler || (recipe at the bottom of this blog post) Celebrate in style with a fizzy sip loaded with BIG flavor!! There is just something intoxicating, besides the alcohol, about raspberries muddled in port then topped with sparkling wine.
California Gold Rush || This cocktail was one of my favorites from the entire project! It is infused with the flavors of honey, lemon, and thyme. This cocktail would be perfect served at a brunch or gathering due to the fact that it is easy to prep all the elements in advance from the syrup to the garnish.
West Coast Warm Winter Wine || Mulled wine lovers this one is for you! The warming aroma of pomegranate, fresh citrus, cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, and ginger will literally warm you up from the inside out!
Cranberry Rosé || Yes way, it's rosé!! You didn't think we'd put together a winetails eBook and leave out the fan favorite rosé did you?! The combination of cranberry and rosé is a match made in heaven! If you are lucky enough to have some cranberries stashed in your freezer they make excellent icee cubes that won't water down your cocktail.
Red Apple Sangria || Never have I ever seen or tasted a more beautiful sangria, and I bet you won't either! From the brown sugar rim to the fresh slices of apple and orange that flavor the entire pitcher of sangria, this sipper is NOT to be missed!
Vineyard Mule || Love Moscow Mules? I know I do! I've made pineapple infused mules, traditional mules, and even festive Christmas mules, but never a wine based mule until now! In case your curious, I'm all in on this version of a mule too!!!
Red Wine Hot Chocolate || I can't resist a slow cooker recipe can you?! Oh man, I never ever had grown up hot chocolate until we photographed this book and I have to say...friend it is an experience that every adult should indulge in at some point!
