How to Make Homemade Wine Coolers?

You can make homemade wine coolers by using the following steps:

  1. The first thing you need to do is gather the following ingredients:
    • A bottle of white wine
    • Sparkling water
    • Fruit juice
    • A freezer-safe container (Optional)
  2. Next, mix together the white wine and sparkling water in a ratio of 1:1.
  3. Then, add the fruit juice of your choice. I personally recommend using cranberry or orange juice for a tart flavor, or grapefruit juice for a sweeter taste.
  4. Once everything is mixed together, there are two ways to serve:

By Freezing

  • Pour the mixture into your freezer-safe container and seal it tight.
  • Then, place the container in the freezer and let it freeze overnight.
  • In the morning, remove the frozen mixture from the container and scoop it into glasses. Serve immediately and enjoy!

With Icing

  • Pour the mixture into a tall, ice-filled glass.
  • Stir gently and serve immediately for getting an instant refreshing kick!
