Red, red wine, I’d love to keep you close to me, but I’m more in the mood for a cocktail to be honest. So what’s a pal supposed to do when they’re in the mood for the sweet berry notes of a pinot noir or a dry and tobacco-forward malbec? Turn to red wine cocktails, that’s what. Fizzy, stirred, sultry, shaken, and all those things in between, there’s no more need to decide on wine or cocktail. The answer? Red wine cocktail!
Go ahead, slip on those dancing shoes and boogey with the devil. Actually, not quite if we’re being honest. This is a sensual upgrade on the classic margarita, with that pop of deep red catching your eye sip after sip.
Red wine meets lemon-lime soda for a simple Tinto de Verano. Or, you can add a little more somethin’ somethin’ by including a dash of lime simple syrup and sweet vermouth. Dreamy? Oh, you are in for an absolute treat.
Typically, a cobbler uses sherry wine. But in this juicy, red twist, you can enjoy it with a lovely bottle of cabernet.

The sour of many names, this pretty red wine cocktail is also known as the New York sour. With a heady combo of red wine and bourbon, it's believed the cocktail has been around since the early 1860s. So we can pretend that it’s named 1870 because that’s when it truly caught on.
This highball adds a little more depth to the usual vodka soda splash of cran, thanks to the dry red wine.
This? This may look like sangria, but as you’ve learned, red wine is so much more than just a pitcher of sangria. It’s a fruity and boozy cocktail that’s sneakily easy to drink.
Like the Tinto de Verano, soda and wine join together to create the perfect sippable cocktail for any occasion. Winter? Perfect. Summer dinner? Absolutely. Fall lunch? Yes.
Bold and beautiful, there's nothing quite like the canvas of flavor a red wine cocktail can make. So, go ahead, lean into your own personal red wine revival by elevating those freshly opened bottles from simple glass of wine to dreamy cocktail. Taste the crimson rainbow.
