The Crimson Dancer is a fun and easy long drink. It’s also lower in alcohol content than many common cocktails since it uses wine as the base ingredient. Did I mention the easy part? It’s only three liquid ingredients. Easy to find ingredients at that. No hunting around the internet or shopping all over town to find these ingredients. That means Happy Hour can get started sooner and well, go longer.
Crimson Dancer Wine Cocktail
Crimson Dancer – recipe by Cheri Loughlin
3 ounces Barefoot Red Moscato Wine
1-1/2 Cran-Raspberry Juice {Ocean Spray used}
2 ounces Black Cherry Soda
Cherry Garnish
Place ice in tall glass. Add juice and Barefoot Red Moscato Wine. Top with soda. Garnish with cherry.
So I know what you’re thinking; Black Cherry Soda in my wine?! No way. Yes. Why? Because it really works with this particular wine flavor profile. People aren’t afraid to spritz lemon-lime soda, ginger ale, club soda or tonic on top of scotch, gin, rum or flavored vodka. Affordable, easy sipping wine is no different. Pour, stir and relax.
