3 White Wine Cocktails

Today we're going to travel through our beautiful French regions with white wine, which won't stop us from tasting some exotic cocktails...

White wine spritzer

A classic white wine cocktail! It's easy to make and even easier to drink. Ideally, choose a fruity and aromatic white wine.

Ingredients for 1 glass:

• 6cl of white wine
• Sparkling water
• 1 slice of lemon

Fill your wine glass with ice cubes and add the white wine. Top it off with sparkling water and garnish with a slice of lemon and, if desired, some parsley.

Pineapple sangria (cocktail made with white wine and coconut rum)

This tropical fruit cocktail blends the Tiki and French styles, and it's a real treat...

Ingredients for 1 bottle:

• 1 bottle of white wine
• Juice of one medium orange
• Juice of one lemon
• 1 fresh pineapple, chopped or sliced
• 50g of sugar
• 12 cl of coconut rum
• 10cl of Ginger Ale

Pour the bottle of wine into a pitcher.

Squeeze the fresh juice from your lemon and orange, then pour it into your pitcher along with the wine.

Get all the fresh juice from your citrus fruits effortlessly and in seconds with a manual citrus press!

Add the pineapple pieces directly to the mixture. Finally, add the sugar, mix, and refrigerate overnight.

Just before serving, add the ginger ale and rum. Serve over ice.

Note that you can use canned pineapple instead of fresh pineapple. Just be aware that canned pineapple will give the cocktail a sweeter taste, so you might want to use less sugar.

Apple cider sangria

Deliciously autumnal, this magnificent sparkling apple cider sangria is refreshing and gently sweet.

Ingredients for 1 bottle:

• 2-3 diced apples (tart or sweet, it's up to you what you prefer)
• 18cl of vodka (ideally caramel vodka)
• 6cl of ginger liqueur (you can make it at home)
• 1 bottle of chilled white wine
• 1 bottle of fresh apple cider

Dice the apples and place them in a punch bowl. Add the ginger liqueur and caramel vodka over them. Let this mixture sit for at least 20 minutes. (The longer the better; you can leave it for up to 40 minutes).

Add the bottle of white wine and the bottle of apple cider. Mix and serve.
