I absolutely love wine & going wine tasting, but I hate the cost of buying expensive flavored wine. My main objective was to create a wine flavored drink, that was reminiscent of a cocktail & one that would impress my friends at a dinner party. I tried everything from flavored extracts, flavored syrups & pure flavored extract oils. Nothing & I mean nothing worked. Feeling a little tipsy & it still being 3pm in the afternoon, I decided to sober up buy drinking some Crystal Light flavored water. Then it hit me. Why don't I try Crystal Light flavored water packets in my wine. It worked & the fabulous thing about using Crystal Light flavored packets is that Crystal Light has no calories & it does change the consistency of the wine.
You can buy a low costing wine or Champaign & pick out your favorite flavor of Crystal Light flavored water packet. I would suggest trying the line of cocktail flavored ones. My choice was a bottle of Mezzacorona's Pinot Grigio & Crystal Light Apple Martini flavored packet. For a 1.5 Liter bottle of wine, I used half a packet of Crystal Light. You can adjust the level of flavor by adding as much or as little of the Crystal Light to the wine. Start off with half a packet of Crystal Light & a cold/chilled bottle of wine. If the flavor is too light, then add a little more Crystal Light.
