There are two kinds of people in the summer:
People who are sweating through a backyard barbecue… and people casually sipping something crisp while pretending they might book another spontaneous trip to the Amalfi Coast.
This cocktail is for the second group.

Meet The Mom Juice Rickey, a sparkling, citrusy wine cocktail made with Mom Juice Wine Sauvignon Blanc, fresh lime, a splash of gin, and enough main-character energy to carry your entire weekend.
It’s refreshing, effortless, and looks expensive in a wine glass. Which, honestly, is the whole point.

Why This Cocktail Works

Translation? It tastes like summer with better lighting.
