Claret Lemonade

Certainly there are those that cringe when wine cocktails conversation is brought to the table. There are those who believe wine should be placed from bottle to glass or bottle to decanter to glass only rather than come in contact with any other mixer. However, dabbling with concoctions of wine, spirits and simple mixers has been going on for years. In fact, making wine into lemonade is actually a classic cocktail! This classic cocktail possibly dates back to the 1800’s with many variations.
