To say the last couple of weeks have been rough, is an understatement. Hard drives failing, juggling too many projects, and falling behind on emails (you know the feeling) – it’s been A LOT. And while I’ve been meaning to make some variation of this drink for a while, this week is when wine got added to the equation. I don’t advise self-medicating regularly, but this pineapple raspberry wine spritzer definitely takes the edge off!

The original inspiration for this drink came from when I was working production on High Cuisine (RIP Go90 Network), last year. My formal title was “Chief Food Officer”, and I was in charge of keeping the show pantry stocked, as well as giving cooking intel to the producers when the cooks were going. Another part was being in charge of snacks and beverages for everyone. One day, I was asked to make a creative beverage for our resident judge, Jason Eisner – which, no pressure, he’s just an amazing mixologist.

So, I peeked into on of the fridges and found some pineapple in a can, leftover raspberries, a fair amount of canned sparkling water, limes, and looooots of cilantro. Before you say, “Uh leftovers? That’s gross!” These were ingredients leftover from the episodes shot that day, that we were repurposing so that they weren’t wasted. Anyway, I muddled, mixed, and squeezed and BLAM! This super refreshing drink. In this case, I added some alcohol to make it a Pineapple Raspberry Wine Spritzer, but you could sub the wine for more sparkling water!

On the topic of sparkling water, I got a Soda Stream a couple of years ago, exclusively to make it, save money, and create less waste. All of which has happened and I seriously love it! I think I got mine on sale at Costco, but you can find them on Amazon, and the like. I really enjoy chilling it, then squeezing lemon and adding a few drops of stevia for a soda-like treat.

To find out if your wine is made without any animal products use Barnivore.com as a reference! Most organic wines are vegan by default, and sometimes say it on the label, but you can cross-reference it online.
