Drinks

White wine and Ginger Ale

Malibu rum and coke


Various recipes

4-5 oz. chilled Mirassou Chardonnay

2-3 oz. chilled ginger beer (or ginger ale if you want it a little sweeter)

juice from half a lime

garnish with fresh or candied ginger


4-5 oz. chilled Mirassou Sauvignon Blanc

2-3 oz. chilled club soda (or tonic if you want a little more sweetness)

3-4 frozen melon cubes

1 big sprig of fresh basil


3-4 oz. chilled wine (I used Mirassou Pinot Grigio for this one. It already has notes of pear and peach in the wine, so it works well here.)

1-2 oz. chilled sparkling water or club soda
