Crushing Vines
This cocktail takes a unique approach and mimics the flavours found within certain varieties of white wine. Flavours of pomme fruits such as apple and pears, as well as some nuanced grape flavours, paired with a slight acidity. This cocktail utilizes a fun syrup recipe, by turning a non alcoholic sparkling wine into a delicious wine flavoured syrup. The same process can be done with any white wine, which makes this syrup ideal for wines that have been oxidized, giving them a new life instead of a life down the drain. Bright, floral, fruity, and elegantly mellow, this cocktail will have you thinking you’re enjoying a sauvignon blanc, or maybe even a dry riesling. Enjoy a taste of the vineyards, without actually having to decant a bottle.
