Impress your partner with this Sauvignon Blanc martini 

With its crisp notes, aromatic elderflower, and zesty lime, this drink captures the essence of a sophisticated sundowner.

Turn one can of Spier Sauvignon Blanc into an elegant sundowner for two, with the addition of gin or vodka, elderflower syrup, a dash of lime juice and a twisted lime peel.  Presentation is half the charm, and serving this drink in martini glasses instantly gives it that romantic, date-night feel. Recipe compliments of Spier.
