Gin and Sauvignon sipper
Sometimes you just need a good drink in the middle of the week. This one is stout without being too strong, flavorful but not overwhelming, and goes great with relaxing by a fire.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Empress gin (this gives it the beautiful color, but other types will work)
- 1 oz Sauvignon Blanc white wine
- 1/2 oz elderflower liquor
- 1 oz lemon juice
- Top off with Rambler grapefruit flavored sparkling water
- A couple of teaspoons, to taste, maraschino cherry juice
Place a few large cubes of ice in a glass. Add all ingredients except maraschino juice, and stir. Add the cherry juice at the end and let it settle on its own. Drink.

I am a mom of two and wife to a martial arts school owner, full-time social media professional and avid cook and gardener. I love creating recipes and involving my kids in the process. The food we cook is usually dairy-free and gluten-free, and sometimes paleo, but we make exceptions (ahem, sourdough bread). The “hippie” part of this blog comes into play in the ingredients we use—I’m pretty vigilant about the health of my family and you could even call me “crunchy.” The “modern” part is that I am busy! You won’t catch me making my own nut milk or churning butter (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I’m more than happy to take the shortcuts provided by our lovely grocery stores and online shopping —especially in the midst of this global pandemic.
