Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups White wine (Gruner or Dry Riesling) (1 bottle works)
  • 1 cup Sweet or dry Vermouth (your preference)
  • 10 oz package of mixed berries (or your favorite berry)

Equipment

  • Shaker

Method
 

  1. Pour the berries into a deep bowl and add the vermouth. Make sure to mix the vermouth in with the berries completely. Leave for at least an hour to soak. You can soak in the refrigerator to make sure it is also chilled.
  2. Spoon some berries (about two tablespoons, or more or less if you prefer) and some vermouth juice into a glass.
  3. Add chilled white wine and fill to capacity. Enjoy all summer long!

Notes

  • As said, you can change up this recipe in many ways: using one or a particular mix of berries, sweet vs. dry vermouth, or different kinds of white wine (dry works best). 
 
  • You can chill the berries for as long as you like, at least until softer berries like the raspberries start to break down.
 
  • You can also add some seltzer for a little extra spritz!
