Cocktail Description
This unusual wine-cola hybrid might raise eyebrows among wine purists, but the Shiraz Spritzer offers a surprisingly refreshing take on red wine for casual sipping.
The robust, fruit-forward character of Shiraz provides a solid foundation, while Grand Marnier adds subtle orange complexity and Coca-Cola brings effervescence and sweetness that lightens the wine's intensity. The result is a ruby-colored, fizzy concoction with notes of dark berries, citrus, and caramel that drinks much easier than traditional red wine. Perfect for outdoor gatherings when traditional wine feels too formal but you still want something wine-based, this spritzer requires absolutely no bartending skills—just pour and stir. It pairs wonderfully with smoky barbecue dishes, spicy wings, or casual appetizers, as its sweetness helps balance heat and its acidity cuts through fatty foods.
