"Happy Fridays" are always a good time and a great place to test out new ideas for cocktails! Here are some of the recipes that everyone seems to enjoy. Give these a try at home and let us know what you think!
Sangrias
Plaisir Favorite Sangria
In a pitcher, combine one full bottle of our Pinot Grigio, one half bottle of our Zinfandel, and 3 cups of lemon lime flavored soda. Add enough fruit to fill the pitcher (we suggest strawberries, kiwis, and lemons) and refrigerate over night.
Red Sangria
Pour a bottle of your favorite red into a pitcher, and add 2 cups of seltzer or sparkling water. Throw in some peaches and oranges and let sit in the fridge before serving.
White Sangria
Add a bottle of any of our white wines, along with 1 cup of pomegranate juice, and 1/2 cup of lemon lime soda. Add a mix of blueberries, apples, and pears and chill for a while.
Martinis
Apple
Combine half a bottle of our Riesling, a Granny Smith apple, 1 cup of lemon lime soda, and 2-3 cups of ice. Blend it up and pour into martini glasses. This recipe should serve about 6 people. Garnish with apple wedges and sprinkle some cinnamon for added touch.
Chocolate
Combine 6 ounces of chocolate syrup, 8 ounces of coconut cream, 4 ounces of lemon lime soda, a handful of cherries, and ice. Add a bottle of our Merlot and blend. Garnish with some chocolate chips or syrup and serve in 4 martini glasses.
Floats
Plaisir Ice Cream Float
You heard that correctly... wine AND ice cream! Just load up your blender with vanilla or chocolate ice cream and cherries. Leave enough room to pour in a bottle of your favorite red and blend it up. We prefer our Merlot for this as well, but try them all!
