Celebrating Spring with Risata Wines
I never thought this day would come.
It's *officially* the first day of Spring.
Winter has felt extremely long these past few months, and I'm ready for a change in the air. Now that the sun sets at 7 PM, I can start to feel subtle changes happening around the City. I've noticed how even a couple more hours of daylight can make such a big difference in one's attitude and mood.
This time of year, I find myself gravitating towards anything fruity and refreshing. I've had my fair share of hot, boozy drinks and I'm ready for a change in not just the air, but even in my choice of cocktail.
I modified the recipe with a couple of different ingredients, in case you need to substitute anything. I had trouble finding the blueberry syrup in the recipe, so I opted for blueberry schnapps instead.
You can find this at any liquor and spirits store.
I prefer wine over beer and liquor any day, so I was excited to try these. I love the detailing of the bottles and how easy the grip is to hold. I think that's something most people tend to overlook when it comes to picking out a bottle of wine. It's important to find a bottle that won't slip out of your hands while pouring... or gifting!
Cheers!
What's your go-to Spring cocktail? Feel free to share any recipes you have with me below. 😊🍷
What You Need:
- 2 oz. Risata Prosecco
- 1/4 cup Lemonade
- 1 tbsp Blueberry Schnapps (substituting for blueberry syrup)
- blueberries
- mint leaves (optional)
Steps:
1. Add lemonade and blueberry schnapps in a glass and stir. I decided to not add any ice because my Prosecco was already chilled beforehand.
2. Top with Risata Prosecco.
3. Garnish with blueberries or mint, if desired.
The blueberries were a great touch, in my opinion.
