The holiday season is meant for celebration time, reminiscing over fond memories and gathering with friends.  Barefoot Bubbly facilitates affordable holiday feasting and cocktail creation with their wide selection of wines and champagne. Wine is no longer relegated to the glass only. Get creative this holiday season by incorporating favorite wine flavors into delicious dessert recipes. Use Barefoot Riesling or Barefoot Moscato in place of simple syrup in a cream whipper for tasty dessert whipped cream. Dabble in the fine art of baking by infusing flavor into more seasonal dessert recipe temptations such as pies and finger cakes. 

 

Barefoot Bubbly wine and champagne creates fine sipping pleasure when it comes to inspired cocktails, too.  Sangria comes to mind most often where wine and cocktail combine, but the spectrum opens wide when creative minds begin playing with the cocktail shaker. The Intoxicologist sponsored Barefoot Bubbly Champagne Holiday Martini recipe creation contest ends tomorrow, December 15. Readers have been encouraged to create a cocktail recipe using Barefoot Bubbly Champagne with five ingredients or less. Several have already been emailed to The Intoxicologist for a chance to win stemware used in drink photos on the website. Find more details and inspiration in the original Santa’s Sparkling Sleigh post. Additional cocktail recipe inspiration may be found in the Barefoot Bubbly photo drink recipe slideshow below.
