Sweet Red Wine Spritzer Recipe
This Sweet Red Wine Spritzer is refreshing, lower in carbs and alcohol, and a cinch to make.
Let’s talk about the Cara Cara orange. I wish these beautiful oranges were available all year long. To me they are the best tasting orange on this planet. The scent exuding from a freshly peeled Cara Cara sends a rather sensual appeal to the brain. Like the fresh scent after the first rain.
I am hooked on them. I can’t even seem to get them off my mind. Mom and dad love to buy fresh produce and when I visited them last, I spied a crate of fresh oranges. I checked them all to make sure there wasn’t a Cara Cara in the bunch that I could snatch up.
That’s when I decided to combine this beautiful orange with Gallo’s Sweet Red Wine. The makings of this spritzer and the zesty peel of my beloved Cara Cara.
This is the perfect drink to include on your Valentine’s dinner menu. You can serve this as an aperitif, or include it with your dessert.
It’s so refreshing and a perfect fit for the unusually warm weather we have been having in Northern California.
Only 100 calories for an 8 ounce glass of sweet refreshing deliciousness.
You don’t have to wait for a special occasion to make this drink because it’s super easy, tastes fantastic and will make an ordinary day extraordinary.
