4 firecracker wow cocktails for the 4th of July
Whether you're watching the ultimate fireworks displays or hitting a 4th of July festival, these patriotic cocktail recipes will get your Independence Day party popping. They make the most of all-American sweet wines and everything great about summer in the U.S.A.
Stars and stripes inspire this part cocktail, part dessert treat. Layers of vanilla milkshake infused with Duplin Piña Colada wine wine and blueberry wine slushie are finished with fresh, sliced strawberries, a dollop of whipped cream and red, white and blue candy stars sprinkled on top. The perfect adult treat to serve with both a spoon and straw.
Creamsicles or Dreamsicles? Who cares? We all need that orange vanilla ice cream flavor in summer, every summer. An entire Creamsicle ice cream bar garnishes the boozy Orange Cream Delight. Pina Colada Sweetzer wine slushie mix meets orange sherbet in the ultimate hot-weather cocktail.
It's not an American summer celebration without watermelon. Blend sugary, frozen watermelon cubes instead of ice with Duplin Scuppernong Blush to make an easy, four-ingredient wine slushie.
Chock full of red and blue summer berries, plus starfruit, this nod to the Stars & Stripes is ready in no time. The all-American, white wine sangria recipe spiked with blueberry vodka will have everyone at the 4th of July block party standing at salute.
