Donna Hay Wine Spritzers

I am organising a reception on Boxing Day! The colour theme is white and green with black accents.

As we are experencing monsoon season here in Singapore, the weather is erratic - sunny one moment, torrential rains the next. I am looking for a drink that is cooling for the tropics, yet lightly alcoholic to remind us to have fun! I thought a lemonade with green lime slices would be great colour for our outdoor party. I found a perfect recipe on Donna Hay that is even better! A wine spritzer! why did I not think of it earlier.
