- Studies have shown that drinking one to two glasses of red wine a day can lower incidence of heart disease
- Fruit, including strawberries, lemons and red grapes are packed with antioxidants and contain a large number of naturally occurring vitamins, minerals and plant phytochemicals that are beneficial for women’s heart health
Make a Heart Healthy Toast With This Refreshing Spritzer!
The “Rosé Strawberry Soirée” is a heart healthy Valentine’s Day Spritzer featuring the seductively pink and refreshing Clos du Bois Rosé (made from red wine grapes). Mixed with antioxidant-rich strawberries, Vitamin C-packed lemon sorbet and a refreshing splash of calorie-free soda water, even the garnish is heart healthy!
Here’s the easy recipe!
Ingredients:
4 oz. Clos du Bois Rosé, chilled
3 oz. soda water
2 fresh strawberries
1 tsp. sugar
Crushed ice
