The Best St. Patrick’s Wine Pairings for a Festive Feast

Sparkling St. Patrick’s Wine Pairing: Mint Julep & Herstory Prosecco

You’ll never leave sparkling wine out of another mint julep after you try this tasty concoction. Save the extra mint simple syrup to brighten up any beverage needing a little extra sweetness and a hint of mint.

Why It Works:

• The crisp acidity of prosecco balances the sweetness of the mint simple syrup.
• Prosecco’s light body complements the boldness of bourbon without overpowering it.

Cocktail Ingredients:

• 1 shot bourbon
• 1 shot mint simple syrup
• 1 cup
• 1 cup ONEHOPE Herstory Prosecco
• Cubed & crushed ice
• Mint sprigs for garnish

Mint Simple Syrup Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• ¼ cup packed mint leaves

Directions:

1. Combine mint leaves, water, and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat and let the mixture steep & cool for 20 minutes. Strain mint out of the mixture with a fine-mesh strainer.
2. Fill serving cups up to the brim with crushed ice.
3. Add bourbon, 1 shot of simple syrup, and prosecco to a cocktail shaker and fill with ice cubes. Shake for 15 seconds and then strain the liquid into serving cups. Garnish each glass with a sprig of mint.

Refreshing St. Patrick’s Wine Pairing: Cucumber Mint Sparkler & ONEHOPE Sparkling Moscato

All of our favorite flavors combine in this spring-inspired Cucumber Mint Sparkler. Gather up the lime juice, the mint and cucumbers, the vodka, and of course—the ONEHOPE Sparkling Moscato—and treat your guests (and yourself) to something refreshing and effervescent.

Why It Works:

• Sparkling moscato’s natural sweetness pairs beautifully with fresh cucumber and lime.
• The slight effervescence enhances the drink’s refreshing qualities, making it a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients:

• 1 oz lime juice
• 1 oz vodka
• Cucumber slices
• Fresh mint
• ONEHOPE Sparkling Moscato

Directions:

1. Add ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice.
2. Pour into glasses with crushed ice and top with ONEHOPE Sparkling Moscato.
3. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and enjoy!

Sugar Snap Pea Salad & ONEHOPE Moscato

Because not every recipe can be a cocktail recipe (or can it?), we added this crunchy sugar snap pea salad to the mix. The tangy-meets-sweet dressing of apricot jam, lemon juice, and honey pairs perfectly with the fruity and nutty flavor of the parmesan chunks. Serve this dish alongside a citrus-forward Moscato to truly bring it to life.

Why It Works:

• The natural fruitiness of moscato complements the tangy-sweet dressing.
• The acidity balances the richness of the parmesan and honey.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup apricot jam
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
• 1 tbsp. honey
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• 24 oz. sugar snap peas, rinsed and dried
• 8 oz. chunk of parmesan cheese, cut into rough chunks (TIP: use the tip of your knife to “chizzle” 1-inch chunks off of the block of parmesan)
• 2 oz. arugula leaves

Directions:

1. Add apricot jam, lemon juice, honey, salt & pepper to a medium sized mixing bowl and whisk until combined. Add in sugar snap peas and parmesan chunks and toss until they are coated in the jam mixture. Add in arugula and lightly toss together.
