The Devil’s Margarita<\/h3>\n

Margaritas AND red wine? Need we say more? We\u2019ll be making this tonight.<\/p>\n

\"Blog: Blog: Show Me The Yummy<\/p>\n

Wine: Red Wine, such as Cabernet or Carm\u00e9n\u00e8re<\/em><\/p>\n

Recommendation:<\/a>\u00a0Mi Terrun\u0303o Reserve Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Argentina<\/em><\/p>\n

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 oz tequila blanco<\/p>\n

3\/4 oz lime juice, freshly squeezed<\/p>\n

3\/4 oz simple syrup<\/p>\n

Red wine, such as Cabernet<\/a> or Carm\u00e9n\u00e8re<\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS:<\/p>\n

In a shaker filled with ice, pour in tequila, lime juice, and simple syrup.\u00a0Shake until chilled and pour into glass of choice.<\/p>\n

Set a spoon at a 45 degree angle barely placed inside of the margarita. The back of the spoon should be facing the ceiling.\u00a0Pinch the top of the wine bottle with your finger and slowly pour red wine<\/a> onto the back of the spoon and let it drizzle on the surface of the margarita.\u00a0Pour until you have about \u00bc inch of red wine in the glass.<\/p>\n

Congratulations! You’ve made a really cool looking layered drink!<\/p>\n

NOTES<\/p>\n

Don’t have any simple syrup? No worries! Mix equal parts white sugar and water (ex: 8 oz sugar, 8 oz water) into a microwave safe container and heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cooking time will vary depending on how much sugar and water you’re cooking.<\/p>\n

If you want to make this for a crowd, make the base ahead (tequila, simple syrup, and lime juice) and place in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.\u00a0Then top each glass with the red wine.<\/p>\n

Apple Cider Mimosa<\/h3>\n

\"Blog: Blog: Back To Her Roots<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t get any easier than this – make sure to always keep some sparkling wine on hand so you can throw this together anytime, even while you\u2019re just waiting for more trick or treaters!<\/p>\n

Wine: Any Sparkling<\/em><\/p>\n

Recommendation:\u00a0<\/a>Cha\u0302teau des Cosse\u0301 Cre\u0301mant de Loire Brut NV <\/em><\/p>\n

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:<\/p>\n

3 oz apple cider<\/p>\n

3 oz champagne<\/p>\n

Brown sugar and apple slices for garnish, optional<\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS:<\/p>\n

Pour the apple cider into a champagne flute, followed by the Champagne<\/a>. Serve immediately!<\/p>\n

NOTES<\/p>\n

If you’d like to rim and garnish the drink, take a thin apple slice (that has been treated with either lemon juice or fruit preserver to prevent browning), and make a \u00bd” slice in the middle. Slide the apple slice onto the rim of the glass, and run around the rim to dampen. Remove the apple slice, then dip the rim of the glass in a shallow bowl of brown sugar. Place the apple slice back on the edge of the glass, then fill with drink.<\/p>\n
