As we await warmer weather and fresh blooms, these bright and refreshing libations are sure to put you in a spring mood.
Domaine de Canton Ginger Liquor
Domaine de Canton, an award-winning French ginger liquor, is the perfect addition to a spring cocktail. Baby ginger is hand cut, rinsed, and dried, then combined with Tahitian vanilla beans and Provencal honey to create a spicy yet balanced liquor. Mix it with citrus flavored vodka and fresh lemon juice to create a delicious martini, or add it into club soda for a refreshing mule.
Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé
Veuve Clicquot Rosé brings together grapes from 50 to 60 different crus, with reserve wines making up as much as 45 percent of the blend. Based on the house’s classic Yellow Label style, the cuvée is completed with the addition of Pinot Noir red wine, which gives the champagne its depth and distinctive rosé character. The beautiful pink champagne offers aromas of red fruits, spice, and fresh pastries. Described by Wine Spectator as “mouthwatering,” the wine is fruity but balanced on the palate. Break out the bubbly for a special occasion, or just because it’s Tuesday, and treat yourself to a delicious glass of the very first blended rosé champagne ever made.
Gundlach Bundschu Gewürztraminer
Gundlach Bundschu’s grapes come from 44-year-old vines in the Petaluma Gap. The grapes are shielded from sunlight as much as possible to capture their natural acidity, producing a unique dry wine that is slightly less sweet than most Gewürztraminers on the market. Enjoy aromas of citrus fruit and coriander, with tasting notes of candied ginger, all spice, and dragon fruit. This wine pairs well with spicy dishes and seafood, making it a great option for a spring dinner party in the garden.
Two Chicks Elderflower & Pear Cocktail
Two Chicks’ drinks provide the convenience of a canned cocktail without skimping on quality. This sparkling vodka-based cocktail has lush flavors of pear and elderflower blossom. With two 6 oz. cocktails in each 12 oz. can, Two Chicks is a great match for a porch sit with a friend on a beautiful spring day. Pair it with a grazing board featuring creamy and nutty cheeses and prosciutto for an elevated experience.
