3 Simple Valentine's Day Mocktails To Try
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner- and this year we’re lucky enough to be able to celebrate on a weekend! Whether you’re spending a weekend away, enjoying a meal at home or dining at your favorite restaurant, it’s always fun to celebrate this fun and sappy holiday.
But just like any other holiday, staying alcohol free can be tough. Many restaurants and stores promote sparkling wines and champagne to celebrate with, and settling with Welch’s isn’t always ideal. Luckily, our line of Grüvi wines let’s you enjoy an elevated, yet alcohol free drink, with your significant other.
For this Valentine’s Day, we’ve curated three simple and tasty mocktail recipes using our Dry Secco and Bubbly Rosé. If you want to enjoy a valentine’s themed drink, read on to try our newest mocktails!

Citrus Cardamom Rosé Spritz
This recipe is courtesy of our friend @mocktaleswithlilly- Lilly says “Cardamom is a herbal, almost minty spice in the same family as ginger, and brings an earthy depth to this non-alcoholic sparkling rosé cocktail. Enjoy!”
