The Wine Cooler belongs to the Highball family, a simple yet refreshing cocktail style. Though its exact origins are murky, it likely emerged in the late 20th century, fueled by the popularity of ready-to-drink beverages.

What does the The Wine Cooler Punch taste like?

The Wine Cooler is a refreshing, light, and slightly tart cocktail. The red wine provides a subtle fruitiness and tannins, while the lemon-lime soda adds a bubbly sweetness and citrus acidity. The ice chills the drink and dilutes the wine’s intensity, making it a perfect summer sipper.

What tips do you have when making the The Wine Cooler Punch?

For a refreshing Wine Cooler, use a good quality dry red wine, like a Pinot Noir or Beaujolais. Chill the wine and soda beforehand. Fill a tall glass with ice, add the wine, top with soda, and gently stir. Don’t over-stir, as you want to keep the bubbles lively. A lemon wedge garnish adds a nice touch.
