Summer Cocktail with Spier as seen on Melissa Louise,
As a part of the #DRINKPINKSPIER experience Spier has launched a signature candyfloss cocktial using the Spier Chardonnay Pinot Noir… How delicious does that sound? I loved this concept but struggled to find candyfloss and nothing screams summer to me more than watermelon!
Here is my version of a summer cocktail with Spier.
What you will need:
1 || Spier Chardonnay Pinot Noir
2 || Soda Water
3 || Watermelon
Mix equal parts of soda water and Spier signature Chardonnay Pinot Noir , stir in ice and add watermelon to taste.
