Father’s Day Cabernet Sour

Ok, so we do a loooot of shouting out the amazing ladies in this community of ours, but today it’s all about the MEN! Furthermore, it’s all about the DADS! The unsung heroes of car troubles, home renovations, sports knowledge, and BOURBON! Which is why today, we’re celebrating all our favorite dads with our delicious Chalkboard Cabernet Sour!


Here’s what you’ll need:
2 oz bourbon
3/4 oz simple syrup
1 oz fresh lemon juice
Chalkboard Cabernet Sauvignon
Ice
Bar Spoon

And here’s how you make it:
In a shaker, combine your bourbon, simple syrup, lemon juice, and ice. Shake. In a glass of ice, pour 3/4 the way up. Finally, take a bar spoon over the glass and pour your cabernet. Sip, sip, annnnd enjoy!

And since we know the mama’s will be the ones making this drink for their men (or at least we think they should be!), go ahead and pour one for yourself, too, and have a drink with the daddy in your life!

Happy Father’s Day, Dads! Cheers to you!

Sweet Red Lemonade

Hey, y’all! We’re wrapping up our frozen drink month with another DELISH beverage to keep you cool and happy in this summer heat! This one is the perfect mix of summer staple & wine snob. We can say that, right?! Because we definitely just did. Anyway — without further ado, may we introduce you to our refreshing and delicious Sweet Red Lemonade!

Here’s what you’ll need:
2 lemons, juiced
2 tbsp sugar
3 generous scoops lemon sorbet (we used private selection brand — Y U M)
Bottle Acronym Red Blend
Nutribullet or blender of choice

Here’s how you make it:
Start by juicing your two lemons. Add 2 tbsp sugar to fresh squeezed lemon juice and mix until sugar is dissolved. Add 3 generous scoops of your lemon sorbet (and then take a spoonful to eat while you make this of course). Blend together to desired consistency and pour into glass. Top with Acronym red blend and enjoy! 

Easy peasy….wait for it.. LEMON SQUEEZY! We absolutely LOVE this drink. There is something different about the flavor matched with its incredible smooth texture that will have you refilling your glass…and refilling again. Annnnd again! 

As always, you can check out our instagram @corksandcheers for the video on how to make it!

Piña Moscata

Hey, friends! We hope your summer is going well and you’ve been able to enjoy alllll the fun summer activities with your families and friends. As you may remember from our Fourth of July drink, we’re doing a fun little ‘frozen wine recipes’ theme this month, and today’s recipe is my (Melissa) personal fav! 

I am a TOTAL sucker for all the delicious vacation drinks (piña coladas, daiquiris, margaritas, etc) and today’s recipe is the perfect beach drink that you can enjoy right from your couch! For the record, you could also enjoy it from the beach, but that’s a given, right?! So without further ado, fall in love with our DEEEELISH Piña Moscata!

Here’s what you’ll need:
1 bottle Chalkboard Moscato
1/3 C Pineapple chunks
1/4 C Bai Puna Coconut Pineapple
1/4 C Ice
Nurtibullet or blender of some sort

And here’s how you make it:
(First of all, can you believe this ingredient list!? SO. DARN. EASY.) Anywho,  in your blender/bullet, combine all of your ingredients, saving your wine for last. We eyeballed the wine because, let’s be honest, it depends what kind of day you’re trying to have, right?! Blend to desired consistency, pour, and garnish with pineapple a chunk! As with any frozen drink, add ice to thicken your slush or add liquid to thin it out! 

So listen, y’all. This is literally a wine version of a piña colada. And it is SO yummy. It has all the flavor of summer, it’s wildly refreshing, and it’s pretty, too. Win – win – win! This will be amazing at all your summer pool parties, patio evenings… or honestly wherever you want to enjoy it! But one thing we know for sure is that you will want more (many, many more) than just one!

As always, you can check out our instagram @corksandcheers for the video on how to make it!

Cheers!
