Catawba Wine Spritzers 

1 bottle Smoky Hill Vineyards, Pink Catawba

Fresh strawberries, stemmed and halves

Lemon slices 

Fresh mint leaves 

Club Soda

 

To prepare spritzers, place 2-3 strawberries into each wine glass with a lemon slice; muddle until juicy. 

Add desired amount of wine, then top with club soda. Add ice, garnish with mint and lemon slices; serve at once. 

Peach Wine Slushies 

1 bottle sweet or semi-sweet white wine (I used Wyldewood Cellars Lady Dulce Sweet) 

1 lb. frozen sliced peaches 

Sliced fruit, for garnishing 

 

Pour a bit of wine into the blender, add the frozen peaches, then pour in the rest of the wine. Purée mixture until smooth. (If mixture isn't slushy in texture, place into the freezer until more set.) Pour into glasses and garnish with fruit. 

Slushies can be made in advance, then defrosted at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. Makes 4 servings, approx. 1 cup each. May substitute 1 lb. of any frozen fruit in this recipe! 

Tropical Summer Sangria 

1 bottle semi-sweet white wine (I used Somerset Ridge Buffalo White), chilled well 

1 cup Malibu rum 

1 cup pineapple juice

1/2 cup orange juice 

Sliced fresh fruit, frozen if possible, to chill sangria 

 

In a pitcher, combine all ingredients except fresh fruit. Add frozen fruit to pitcher to chill sangria. Serve as desired.
