Notes

Pro Tips
  • For a more intense flavor, use a bold red wine such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup to suit your taste.
  • For an aromatic touch, express the orange peel over the drink before rubbing it around the rim.
  • Use a large ice sphere to keep the cocktail cool without diluting it too quickly.
