Summer Cocktail Series
Whether you prefer red, white, or Rosé, we’ve got the perfect wine cocktail for you this summer! While a lot of wine cocktails add hard liquors and overly sugary sweeteners, our summer cocktail series will use minimal, fresh, and simple ingredients you can feel good about! Say goodbye to groggy, sluggish mornings after a few drinks the day before.
Check out our winning line-up of summer wine cocktails below to keep you feeling light and refreshed on those hot summer days. They are lower in sugar and lower in alcohol, but these flavorful cocktails won’t disappoint!
Sauvy B Spritzer
This is our spin on the classic wine spritzer. With just 3 simple ingredients, this cocktail lets the crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc shine. By adding some bubbles and a dash of bitters, we highlight the citrus notes of the wine, while the ginger adds a hint of fresh spice to come through the tropical fruit notes.
Ingredients
- 1 part Bogle Sauvignon Blanc
- 1 part ginger ale
- Dash of orange bitters
- Garnish with lemon and mint
Instructions
Pack a glass full of ice, add all ingredients, gently stir, add garnish, and enjoy!
Summer Garden Rosé
If you like iced tea and you like Rosé, this is the drink for you! Brew up your favorite tisane and steep for 5 minutes, or to taste. We used a local herbal fusion of hibiscus and rose petals. The herbs in the tea compliment the crisp, floral notes in our Rosé and the fresh squeeze of lemon adds a refreshing tartness to bring the flavors together. This cocktail is perfectly paired with an afternoon out in the garden, on the patio, or with a good book!
Ingredients
- 1 part Bogle Rosé
- 1 part herbal iced tea
- 1 part soda water
- One squeeze of fresh lemon
- Garnish with fresh fruit or herbs
Instructions
Pack a glass full of ice, add all ingredients, gently stir, add garnish, and enjoy!
Tinto de Verano
Inspired by the Spanish cocktail of the same name, the Tinto de Verano has become a house favorite this summer season! While many summer wine cocktails feature white or sparkling wine, this surprisingly refreshing blend of red wine and lemon-lime soda is a match made in heaven! Add a squeeze of lemon and drop it in as a garnish, and we know you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
Ingredients
- 1 part Bogle Pinot Noir (but any Bogle red wine will do!)
- 1 part lemon-lime soda
- 1 squeeze fresh lemon
- Add lemon slice for garnish
Instructions
Pack a glass full of ice, add all ingredients, gently stir, add garnish, and enjoy!
Kalimotxo
Another winning combination from Spain, the Kalimotxo. This drink features red wine and cola for a blend that highlights the best of our Bogle Pinot Noir with its fresh herbal and spice notes. Then the cola adds a sweet vanilla that compliments the citrus garnish. This drink couldn’t be simpler to make, and it’s perfect for those warm summer nights!
Ingredients
- 1 part Bogle Pinot Noir
- 1 part cola
- Add lemon for garnish
Instructions
Pack a glass full of ice, add all ingredients, gently stir, add garnish, and enjoy!
