Summer Sipper

Ingredients

Ice
Twig of fresh lavender (sub with mint if lavender is not available)
1 ounce of elderflower syrup (available at IKEA)
Generous pour of Pinot Gris (or Sparkling Brut)
1/2 cup Perrier (or any other sparkling water)

Method
Add ice to your glass, then break up lavender into glass. Pour in elderflower syrup, Pinot Gris and then top with Perrier. Stir, sip, enjoy!

Ginger Ninja

Ingredients

Ice
Two tablespoons of peeled & roughly chopped fresh ginger
1-2 tablespoons agave syrup
1/2 cup Ginger ale (artisanal style soda preferred)
1-1/2 cups of Gewürztraminer
2-3 mint leaves 

Method
Add ice to your glass. Place chopped ginger a fine sieve and place over a bowl (to gather pressed juices). Pour agave over ginger and press the ginger with a spoon to release the juices into the bowl. Discard ginger/sieve and add ginger ale into agave/ginger syrup in bowl to loosen up the syrup. Stir gently. Add ice to glass and pour agave syrup/ginger ale mix into glass. Top up with a generous amount of Gewürztraminer. Stir, sip, savour! Want an extra kick? Add a splash of tobassco sauce!
