Whipping up a wine cocktail is a great way to use leftover wine – if that’s an issue – and a fun way to add a little pizzazz to your house red or white. An advantage of a wine-based cocktail is they tend to have lower alcohol content, which may be perfect for that Sunday brunch.
Enjoy this popular and refreshing Spanish wine cocktail. Calimocho originated in the Basque region of Spain but has spread throughout the entire country. It is traditionally made with Coca-Cola, but you can use any cola.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the blood orange juice, Aperol, and rosemary simple syrup. Shake well and strain into a Champagne coupe or flute. Top with the Prosecco, and garnish with the blood orange wheel and rosemary sprig.
Dissolve the sugar in the lemon juice and the water in a large wine glass. Add cracked ice and pour the Cabernet Sauvignon wine. Stir gently. Garnish with an orange slice, and serve.
