Wine Cocktails
Wine-based cocktails, from spritzes to mulled classics.
Wine-based cocktails are among the oldest drinks in recorded history, spanning the simple aperitivo-style Aperol Spritz and the warming, spiced Glühwein to refreshing Sangria and the classic Kir Royale. Using wine as a base keeps the alcohol content lighter than spirit-forward cocktails and brings natural acidity and fruitiness that blends easily with citrus, soda, or spice. These drinks are generally approachable, food-friendly, and well-suited to longer, leisurely drinking.
