Variations You May Be Looking For!
- Wine Swap: Experiment with white wine or rosé instead of red wine. Each option brings a unique flavor profile that can brighten or mellow the drink, depending on your choice.
- Fruit Mixology: Try different fruits based on what’s in season or complementing your wine. Think about adding fresh berries, citrus slices, or tropical fruits like pineapple or mango for a refreshing twist.
- Bubble Variety: Swap out the traditional lemon or lime soda for other flavored sparkling waters or artisanal sodas. With the variety available today, you can infuse new layers of flavor into your clericot.
- Herb Infusions: For a touch of sophistication, add a few sprigs of fresh herbs like mint, basil, or rosemary. They’ll infuse a delightful aroma and add an herbal twist to the drink.
- Light and Zesty: If you’re looking for a lower-calorie option, use a zero-calorie sparkling drink or a splash of kombucha. This change will keep the fizz while trimming down on sugar.
