        1. From Wine Racks Blog, try a drink that will make you go “plum crazy”. 

        Mix your favorite white zinfandel + plum liqueur (crazy right?!), add a little lemon soda water topped with a lemon rind! 

         2. Want to stick with the wine + liqueur combinations? 

               Start with 4 cups wine

                                1–2 cups chopped fruit

                                2 tablespoons brandy

                                2 tablespoons simple syrup

                                sparkling water to taste.

          3. Bring back the feeling of summer by making some adult 'wine pops'! Freeze Moscato with your favorite 'berries in pop molds.

           4. Cosmo provides 10 awesome hacks to improve the taste of boxed wines - but we think they will be perfect for any wine on a summer day. From making wine lemonades to blending, there's a recipe for every wine drinker.

                  One of our faves is the kalimotxo.

                         A Spanish favorite -  mix equal parts red wine and cola over ice. It's that easy!

                         It's an interesting twist on the traditional wine spritzer.

        Remember to remove sulfites from your wine with Oen Drop before    making any of these recipes. Don't wine without Oendrop!
