Your New Go-To Happy Hour Drink: The Dirty Spritz
But curiosity got the best of me. One evening, after a long day in the vineyard, I decided to give it a try with a bottle of our very own Levity sparkling wine. I was so surprised! It's not what you expect, but in the best way possible. The crisp acidity and clean finish of our brut-style Levity cut through the savory, salty notes of the olive brine perfectly, creating a refreshing and totally unique happy hour cocktail.
It’s now my new favorite way to kick back and relax, and I just had to share it with all of you. It’s a fun, simple drink that feels both classic and trendy all at once.
