Ingredients:
- 4 oz Leitz Eins-Zwei-Zero Riesling (or Rosé)
- 2 oz mixed berry juice (blueberry, blackberry, or a blend)
- ½ oz maple syrup (or honey syrup if preferred)
- 2–3 fresh blackberries or blueberries
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1–2 whole cloves
- 1 small piece of fresh ginger (optional)
- Garnish: berries on a cocktail pick or a cinnamon stick
Instructions:
In a small pot, combine berry juice, maple syrup, cinnamon stick, cloves, and optional ginger over very low heat. Warm gently for 5–7 minutes (do not boil). Remove from heat and let steep for 2 minutes. Strain into a heat-safe glass or mug. Add Leitz Riesling (or Rosé) and stir gently. Garnish with fresh berries or a cinnamon stick.
Flavor notes: The rich, warming berry flavors and subtle spice are rounded out by the clean, crisp character of Leitz NA wine. It’s cozy, elegant, and perfect for winter gatherings, no citrus required.
