Mionetto Prosecco Makes Your Holidays Sparkle!
By Becky Ellis
Are you popping open some Mionetto Prosecco for the holidays?
Mionetto Prosecco makes your holidays sparkle in so many ways and holidays that sparkle are the best holidays! Mionetto is available at an affordable price point ($13 – $20 a bottle) so you can sparkle your way right up through the new year.
Greet your guests with a glass of chilled prosecco (either at home or virtually) to get the party started. A glass of bubbly is a wonderful way to set the tone for fun and frolic.
Friendsgiving/Thanksgiving:
When thinking about wine for Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving, think fruity. With so many rich flavors in every dish you are serving, fruit is a welcome respite to refresh your palate.
Before enjoying a roasted turkey with all the trimmings feast, sip on sangria. Often thought of as a summer drink, sangria is just as tasty made with autumn fruits. Pear Pomegranate Sangria made with pear brandy, cinnamon, pomegranate juice and prosecco. I like to use IL Prosecco DOC in my sangria. The products in the Mionetto “il” line are fresh and vibrant for light, informal, social drinking.
Pairing wine with your Friendsgiving/Thanksgiving feast can be challenging. What wine pairs with turkey, sweet potatoes, green beans and cranberry sauce? Mionetto Extra Dry Rosé from the Mionetto Prestige Collection is the perfect pairing. This bubbly is fragrant and fruity with flavors of raspberry, morello cherry and wild strawberry. Plus, this sparkling wine is such a pretty peach blossom color in the glass. Serve it as an aperitif, with your main dishes and it is delightful for dessert.
Christmas Eve:
Sip a Christmas Spritz in front of the fire while you wait for Santa to arrive. It’s made with homemade orange simple syrup. This flavorful fruity syrup has all of the Christmassy flavors – cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, star anise, rosemary and orange peel.
Christmas:
After all of the family fa-la-la, when all of the packages are unwrapped and the children are playing with their new toys, it’s time for the adults to sip on a cocktail. Sit back, relax in front of the Christmas tree with a Roman Holiday Cocktail. Cherry juice, vanilla vodka and fresh sage simple syrup, topped with Mionetto Prosecco. Some of the best simple syrups are made with fresh herbs. Sage simple syrup gives this cocktail an earthy, slightly peppery, lemony taste.
New Year’s Eve:
With their radiant red seeds and tart juicy taste, pomegranates are one of the most popular fruits to brighten up the winter months. Plus pomegranate juice and liqueur make fabulous cocktails. Your guests will be delighted with Pomegrante Fizzmade with PAMA Liqueur. Cheers to the New Year!
