The "No Worries, No Hurries Holiday Red Wine Spritzer"

The holidays are all about indulgence. Lavish meals, extravagant gifts, and many, many festive beverages. Some are eggnog based, some are rum based, but we think the best are wine based, of course!  

If you're looking for a no worries (lower calorie than eggnog and whipped cream!), no hurries (it takes less time to make this drink than it does to coax Aunt Dorothy into a taxi!) beverage, then look no further:

   Ingredients:

•  2.5oz of Painted Turtle Merlot
   
•  5oz of soda water
   
•  2-3 frozen grapes 

   Directions:

•  Fill wine glass with ice, pour in Painted Turtle Merlot and soda water. Garnish with frozen grapes. 

Aside from being quick and easy, there are even more benefits to this refreshing beverage. The soda water will keep you hydrated, and will also help keep you on two feet... while others who may have been "over-indulging" might feel the need to sit down!
