Midnight Garden Spritz
AI-generatedEasyWine
An aromatic, jewel-toned spritz where herbaceous gin and dark wine meet a whisper of basil and spice.
Ingredients
- ◆2 oz red wine
- ◆1 oz gin
- ◆1 oz cranberry juice
- ◆1/2 oz lemon juice
- ◆1/4 oz simple syrup
- ◆2 oz club soda
- ◆4 leaves basil
- ◆1 pinch black pepper
Method
- 11. Lightly slap 4 basil leaves between your palms to express the oils, then drop them into a shaker.
- 22. Add gin, cranberry juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, a pinch of freshly cracked black pepper, and ice.
- 33. Shake for 10 seconds, then double-strain into a large ice-filled wine glass.
- 44. Top with club soda and stir once gently.
- 55. Slowly pour red wine over the back of a spoon to float it across the surface, creating a deep crimson top layer.
PRO TIP
Use a light-bodied red like Pinot Noir for the float — its lower tannins and delicate structure let the botanical gin notes from below breathe through without overpowering them.
Garnish — fresh basil sprig and a lemon twist
