Ingredients: 100 ml white wine (e.g. Leopard's Leap Lookout Collection Semi-Sweet), 100 ml water, 100 g sugar, limes, ice cubes or crushed ice
For the garnish: lime slices, mint leaves
Method:
First, make the sugar syrup for the cocktail. To do this, put the water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Stir until the sugar has dissolved in the water, then remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool. Now mix the sugar syrup with the white wine (e.g. with a cocktail shaker). Wash the lime and mint leaves and pat dry. Cut the lime into wedges, put them into glasses and mash the lime wedges in the glass. Then fill the glasses with the ice cubes or crushed ice and pour the white wine and sugar syrup mixture over it. Garnish the cocktail with lime slices and mint leaves as desired.
Our Wine Recommendation
The cocktail creation from our partner winery Leopard's Leap tastes best with the Leopard's Leap Lookout Collection Semi-Sweet 2020. The uncomplicated white wine blend made from Chenin Blanc and Muscat Blanc delights with its balanced sweetness-acidity play and its wonderful aromas of tropical fruits, peaches and lemons, which are surrounded by floral notes.
