3 Sparkling Wine Cocktails for the Summer

Sparkling wines are fun to enjoy on their own, but why not add sparkle to a cocktail?  I received these three recipes using sparkling wines, two are BC wines, and one is Italian Prosecco, which you may enjoy.  

Sparkling frosé

 

Add the See Ya Later Ranch Sparkling Rosé, strawberries, sugar and lime juice to a blender. Top with ice, and blend until the ice is crushed and the strawberries are smooth.
