WHAT TO MIX WITH RED WINE: THE REBEL'S CHEAT SHEET
Ready to break the rules? Here’s your go-to guide for the best sweet red wine mixers:
CLUB SODA OR SPARKLING WATER
Keep it crisp and clean. Pour Lolli Sweet Red over ice, top with club soda, and drop in a slice of lime or orange. Easy spritzer, zero effort.
Perfect For: Chill afternoons and “just one more” moments.
CITRUS JUICE
Orange juice or lemonade + sweet red wine = brunch magic. Basically a red wine mimosa but better, because you made it your way.
Perfect For: Lazy brunches, breakfast-for-dinner, or when the group chat says “come through.”
FRUIT LIQUEURS
Want a strong sweet wine cocktail with a smooth twist? Add a splash of raspberry or orange liqueur. It’s giving fancy, but without the side-eye from snobs.
Perfect For: Date nights, holidays, or flexing on your feed.
FRESH FRUIT & HERBS
DIY sangria, but make it rebellious. Muddle berries, peaches, or oranges with mint or basil. Pour in Lolli Sweet Red wine, top with ice and a splash of soda. Done.
Perfect For: Backyard hangs and late-night stories you’ll retell all summer.
COLA OR GINGER ALE
If you haven’t tried this, fix that immediately. Cola or ginger ale + sweet red wine = a fizzy, sweet kickback classic. No judgment, only good times.
Perfect For: Game nights and snack attacks.
