Carignane Rosemary Smash

Carignane Rosemary Smash

Blending the rich, bold notes of the Day 13 Wine with the earthy freshness of rosemary and the zesty brightness of lemon, this cocktail delivers a refreshing herbal infusion. A splash of club soda adds a crisp, effervescent touch, making it ideal for a cozy evening or as a unique pre-dinner drink. The fragrant rosemary enhances each sip, creating a truly aromatic and delightful experience.

Ingredients:

  • 2 ounces Carignane wine (Day 13 Advent Wine)
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • lime, cut into wedges
  • 1 teaspoon honey or simple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • 2 ounces club soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh rosemary sprig, lime, other citrus for garnish (optional)
  • Sugar for rim (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Muddle the herbs and limes: In a cocktail shaker, add the rosemary sprig and lime wedges. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the rosemary and lime to release their juices and aromatic oils.
  2. Add the wine and sweetener: Pour in the Carignane wine, followed by honey or simple syrup if you prefer a touch of sweetness. Stir to combine the ingredients.
  3. Shake: Add ice to the shaker, then secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to chill the mixture.
  4. Finish with club soda: Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice, then top off with a splash of club soda to add a bit of effervescence.
  5. Garnish and serve: Rim the glass with sugar (optional). Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary, lime wedges or your favorite citrus and serve immediately.

Enjoy the herbaceous flavor profile of this instant holiday cocktail classic!
