Ruby After Hours

Strawberry and orange give this NA red wine spritz a generous fruit character, while the wine supplies a little more structure than juice alone. Sparkling water keeps the pour from feeling heavy. Choose a red you like drinking, because its sweetness and dryness will shape the result. Lightly press the berries and stir the fruit with the wine before adding bubbles; you want a fresh spritz, not a glass full of mashed fruit.

Ingredients

• 4 oz NA red wine
• 2 oz Sparkling water
• 1/4 cup Strawberries
• 2 oz Orange juice

Make it

1. Add any fruit, herbs, spices, or syrup to a glass and gently press to release flavor.
2. Add the still liquids and ice. Stir to combine.
3. Pour in the sparkling ingredient slowly and stir once. Serve immediately.

Benefits

Orange · a little vitamin C

Orange contributes a little vitamin C for collagen formation for healthy skin; NA red wine brings a fruit-led wine-style base in this recipe.

Strawberry with a little lift

The strawberry brings a sweet-tart berry flavor, alongside NA red wine and orange; the chilled carbonated mixer adds a crisp texture to that pairing.

Check every NA product’s ABV. Choose clearly labeled 0.0% ingredients if you want to avoid trace alcohol.
