Spring might actually be here! You never want to hold your breath in the UP of Michigan when it comes to weather, but I am feeling hopeful. I’m sitting outside in the sun, my girls are painting Easter decorations, and I wanted something bright and clear to sip that matched the day. Here’s to the sunny days ahead! Thanks for letting me make you a drink.

Clear Spring Day 4 oz white wine (minerally and tart- like a Sauvignon Blanc) 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice 3/4 oz ginger liqueur or ginger syrup 1/2 oz elderflower liqueur 2 dashes aromatic bitters Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir well, or build directly in the glass. Strain into a highball glass with plenty of ice and garnish with a straw and lemon wheel.

Editor's Note

A Sauvignon Blanc cooler gets an upgrade with floral elderflower and a spicy ginger kick. This is a simple, low-ABV highball built for sunny afternoons.
