Wine cocktails, a growing trend
Although it's far more common to drink cocktails made with hard liquor and soft drinks, wine can also be an excellent cocktail ingredient. Whether you prefer red wine, white wine, or rosé, you can mix it with a number of things to make a fresh, tangy cocktail.
For example, you can make a fresh sangria with rosé and yellow fruits, or swap out the rosé for white wine. Wine tonic, which is like a gin tonic but with sweet white wine instead of gin, is also an option. There are a number of ways to make room for wine at happy hour!
