If you enjoy white wine but you are looking for something a little more adventurous, you are in luck. These easy cocktail ideas will transform your regular glass into something truly refreshing and delightful. Not only will you enjoy them yourself, but you can also serve them to impress your guests.

Refreshing Sangria

While some might believe that sangria is made with only red wine, it can be made with white wine too. These recipes will include ginger ale, watermelon and strawberries. Alternatively, you could use brandy, peaches and pineapple juice. They each have their own unique flavour so it will come down to personal preference.

Wine Spritzers

If you want a white wine drink that is both light and refreshing, you should consider the ever popular spritzer. All you need to do is combine a cup of wine with half a cup of club soda. Add colour with a dash of peach schnapps if you like. This will sweeten your cocktail up too. Alternatively, you can add a slice of lemon, lime or orange.

The President cocktail

This white wine cocktail should be served in a Martini glass. You will need to combine 1.5 ounces of white run, 0,75 ounces of Orange Curacao, 0.75 ounces of wine and a dash of grenadine. Add some ice to the shaker and mix well before straining into your glasses.

Pineapple cocktail

All you need for this simple cocktail is a cup of crushed pineapple, 6 ounces of dry white wine, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 3 ounces of pineapple juice and 9 ounces of sherry. Soak the pineapple in the wine for several hours before you add the rest of the ingredients. Chill and strain into glasses. Garnish with a pineapple wedge.

Cocktails for cold weather

White wine cocktails are not just for summer. You can make mulled wine for the winter too. You will need to add a selection of spices like whole cloves, cinnamon sticks, lemon and orange. You can add sugar but you should rather let each guest add their own to their cup. Of course, the wine and spices need to be boiled together before you pour into cups and then add sugar to taste.

There you have it! A wonderful selection of white wine cocktails that you can serve throughout the year. Whether you want something refreshing or comforting, you only need a few basic ingredients to make something sensational.
