Chamomile Wine Spritzer




Chamomile is a fresh summer flavor that beseeches you to include it in your nightly spritzer.

Its light and airy taste feels refreshing while providing a sense of calm after a busy summer day.


The Greek word for chamomile is "ground apple" due to a similar, albeit more delicate, scent. Apple is the perfect sweet note for this drink to round out the flavors.
