Wine

We recommend using a good-quality California or Spanish sparkling wine for this recipe. Both are widely available and less expensive than champagne.
You may want to garnish these drinks with fresh elderberry flowers; if so, make sure the blossoms you buy are unsprayed (nontoxic).

This drink is sometimes called Champagne Velvet, and in certain quarters is known as the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick Shandygaff, a fine euphoric title.

The sweetness of honey and the bite of Campari combine in this refreshing drink; its flavor is reminiscent of grapefruit.

Try floating some fresh strawberries in the punch for a nice presentation.

A lovely champagne cocktail.

Málaga Tapas & Bar gets its name from a city on Spain's southern coast — and from the authentic savory appetizers and snacks it serves with wine and other drinks, in the Andalusian tapas tradition. Málaga, located in Austin's trendy Warehouse District, is a favorite among the after-work and late-night crowds. This recipe for sangria comes from the restaurant's bar manager and resident wine expert, Merrill Frank.
