Weekend Wine Frothy


This recipe looks amazing. Although I find it funny how I never drink anymore and yet love searching up cocktail recipes.

1. Wine - white, rose or red. Sparkling is okay too, but be careful of the fizz when blending
2. Frozen fruit
3. Frozen Juice Ice Cubes - You can also use ginger ale or coconut water ice cubes
4. Fresh banana - The banana adds a creamy frothiness, similar to how bartenders like to use egg whites. Only the banana is much healthier and tastier in my opinion
5. Optional ingredients can include spices (ginger or cayenne) herbs (mint) sweeteners (maple syrup) and other accents like lemon juice or zest.

Give a frothy a try and have fun creating flavor combos. Try..

Mint Grapefruit Juice Chardonney
Blueberry Pinot
Spicy Ginger Frozen Peach Rose
Apple Lemon White
Raspberry Cabernet

Tropical Ginger Pineapple Frothy

8 ounces white wine
1/2 cup frozen pineapple
1/2 banana
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp maple syrup
1 cup ginger ale ice cubes

Have fun experimenting with these choices. I know I will!
