Settle Down and Sip a Summer Wine Cocktail

Honestly, we’ve had our fill of spritzes. What’s new and refreshing and different to drink this summer?

We’re so glad you asked!

Our creative team at the Merc has created new twists on three classic summer cocktails using Capital Call wines.

These mouthwatering wine-based cocktails will bring a little extra brightness to your backyard dinner parties, brunches with besties, or when you just want to sit on the front porch and watch the world go by.
