(Brooklyn Winery)
There is no quicker way to the heart than through a good glass of wine or a creatively made cocktail. That's why, the unique NYC urban winery, Brooklyn Winery, is blending the best of both worlds into two wine-based cocktails to cure the lovestricken (or lovesick) heart. Infused with a custom "bouquet of flowers" simple syrup, each recipe features the winery's house-made Old Vine Zinfandel mixed with ingredients, such as Campari, Hibiscus-Rose Bitters, and candied rose petals.
