With the kids out of school and the sun shining outside, I sometimes wish I was at the beach instead of stuck behind the computer. So the other day we put the kids to bed early with the idea of creating a little summer staycation date night at home.
Both of us love margaritas, but we wanted something lighter and fruitier, so I decided to make a wine-based margarita using a Sutter Home Chardonnay I had in the fridge. To add a tropical touch, I combined it with guava nectar. The result was a sweet and tangy cocktail with a delicious tropical feel. Instead of rimming the glass with salt, I used tajín, a Mexican seasoning that combines the tartness of lime, salt, and a bit of heat. The combination of the guava and the tajín was fantastic!
As I took my first drink of this sweet and tangy margarita, I was transported back home to Guatemala by the scent and flavor of guava, which was always one of my favorite treats growing up. As we sat out on the lanai sipping our wine guavaritas and watching the sunset between the palm trees in our backyard, we totally forgot we were at home. We could almost smell the ocean and hear the waves crashing far away.
This is the second wine cocktail I’ve made this summer using Sutter Home wines. Last month I made a delicious wine mango mojito, and this month it was the wine guava margarita, and I have realized how much I like the wine versions of these favorite cocktails. Wine makes the cocktails so fresh, light, and bright!
Sutter Home is the perfect choice to bring a variety of flavors to your summer fun, and when you play around with them and combine them to create cocktails, the possibilities are endless!
Sharing a glass of Sutter Home wine or a refreshing wine cocktail like this guava margarita is the perfect way to bring people together and make them feel at home when you are hosting a summer get-together.
