In this intense heat, let’s opt for refreshing cocktails, which change from Spritz and revisit Sangria. To be consumed in moderation of course.
It is consumed as is, to accompany delicious meals or aperitifs. Wine, whether rosé, white or red, can also be enjoyed differently. There is already this famous association of wine with lemonade, a little Grand Marnier, a few notes of vanilla and cinnamon to create the legendary Sangria, this Spanish cocktail that many love. It is the refreshing drink par excellence for wine lovers and we suggest you revisit it, to the point of creating new cocktails, from this simple ingredient: wine.
Drinks to be consumed in moderation
Take precautions, especially under this summer sun, since alcohol and heat do not mix well. With the increase in body temperature, the effects of alcohol are increased tenfold, to the point of accelerating dehydration. Of course, it is not forbidden to drink alcoholic beverages, as long as you consume them in moderation. So we do not replace water with alcohol to hydrate ourselves and we combine the two, to dilute the effects of alcoholic beverages. So we think about having a few glasses of water after a glass of alcohol and we enjoy, in complete safety.
New cocktails to change from the traditional
Mojito, Spritz, Sex On The Beach, Margarita… these famous cocktails accompany us all summer long. We enjoy them with pleasure for their freshness in this period of intense heat and we prepare them to celebrate the beautiful days, with friends or family. This year, why not try new flavor combinations? We suggest you put wine in the spotlight, in homage to Sangria. Let’s revisit this classic in a red fruit version, invite plums in Prosecco and mix violet with rosé wine. Here are 7 original and unusual recipes that will amaze your guests, for your next big tables. Prepare your shopping list, because it’s going to sparkle! Lemons, raspberries, citrus fruits, plums, basil, brown sugar, lemonade and sparkling wines will be there.
Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health.
