Red Wine Winter Spritzer
The New Year is a time for exercise, eating right, and for some; going dry. While we’re all about working off the holiday weight and getting our diet back on track, we can’t give up our beloved wine altogether. Spritzers are a great way to keep your drink low-key and low-calorie. We tried this Fireside Cocktail recipe courtesy of Dempsey’s Burger Pub, Kansas City, MO (originally published by Wine Enthusiast) and loved it. We hope you do too!
