Hard Candy Prosecco

How are we already 2 months into 2021, right?! February snuck right up on us which means Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. If you’ve been around here any amount of time, you know one thing to be true — we love celebrating anything, but especially holidays! And the holiday all about love is about as “us” as it gets!

Today, we’re bringing you the sweetest, easiest, and yummiest little V-Day drink to share with your favorite gals or with that sweet someone. Regardless, it’s going to be a hit…and it takes little to no effort on your part. To make our Hard Candy Prosecco you literally need the ingredients in the title.

You guessed it — Here’s what you’ll need:
Ogio Prosecco
Jolly Ranchers Hard Candy

Here’s how you make it:
In a champagne flute, pour your Prosecco. Next, pick your favorite JR flavor and drop it in the glass. Let sit for 2-4 minutes or until you’re ready to drink it. And voila — you have the most DELISH candied-champagne! And the bonus!? When you’re finished drinking, you have a sweet little candy waiting for you to eat it at the bottom of the glass!

Not only is this probably the easiest drink we’ve ever made — and that’s saying something — it’s also really stinking cute! Especially after letting the candy sit for a bit…because then you end up with colorful champagne! YES PLEASE.

We hope no matter how, who, or what you’re celebrating this Valentine’s Day, that you know and feel how loved you are —especially by all of us here at Corks + Cheers!

Xoxo!

Blood Orange Bourbon Bubbly

Light the fire and grab your comfies, y’all, because we are coming to you today with THE perfect cozy night cocktail for you! We’ve taken two of our FAVORITE beverages, added some blood orange flare, and mixed them all together to give you our Blood Orange Bourbon Bubbly featuring our Ogio Prosecco! We understand that the name is kind of extra, but when you taste (and honestly when you just LOOK at the prettiness) this drink, you’ll see that the name was warranted.

Here’s what you’ll need:
-Ogio Prosecco
-1 shot bourbon of your choice (we went with Maker’s!)
-Bai Bubbles in blood orange
-Orange slices
-Mint leaves
-Cranberries

And here’s how you do it:
In a glass over ice, pour 1 part Bai bubbles until glass is about 1/3 full. Next, add 1 shot of bourbon. Top with Ogio Prosecco. Finish with an orange slice on the rim, and garnish with mint leaves and cranberries!

Oh my LAWD isn’t she BEAUTIFUL!? And the taste matches the look, too! The bourbon mixed with the bubbles is just the right amount of comfort paired with celebration. And what’s not to celebrate right now — the weirdest year in history is wrapping up and the holidays are ALL THE WAY HERE! YAAAAS!

We cannot wait to hear how much you love this one! Let us know how you enjoy it when you make it! And as per usual, you can check out our instagram @corksandcheers for the video on how to make it!

Cheers!

Bubbly Blackberry Cab

Continuing with our Cabernet theme, we’re back with another yummy fall cocktail where the spotlight continues shining on our beloved Chalkboard Cabernet Sauvignon. This very well could be the simplest fall drink we’ve given you to date — and we’re not mad about it! (You won’t be either!) Introducing our delightful Bubbly Blackberry cocktail! 

Here’s what you’ll need:
-Bottle Chalkboard Cabernet Sauvignon
-Bai bubbles Blackberry Lime
-Blackberries for garnish

And here’s how you make it:
You probably figured this one out already, but in case you want clarity — yes, you simply pour your Bai bubbles over ice about halfway, and top with your Cabernet! Throw some berries in for garnish and voila! DONE!

For all of you wannabe red-wine lovers who are gun shy due to tase, this is a great way to ease your palate into a good red because it has the sweetness of the Bai to offset the dryness! *chef’s kiss*….PERFECTION!
