With this random winter heat wave reminding us of all things sunshine, we’re getting pretty antsy for the spring and summer months to get here. So what’s the fastest way to kick the winter blues? Bright and delicious sangria, of course! Inspired by the many flavors of our favorite Pressed Juicery selections, we set out to pair each one with its perfect boozy partner.

The possibilities were endless, and when matching a wine (or spirit) with one of the juices, Whitney let one or two of the main ingredients in the juice guide her to a wine with either similar or complimentary flavor and aromatic components. And when you’re using fresh, organic juices with pure flavors rather than the dubious “mixers” that flood the market, you’re doing your palette and body a favor, too. Pour it over ice, throw in a few garnishes and you’ve got instant, delicious, gratification.

Bubbly with Apple Lemon Ginger

NV German Gilabert Brut Nature Cava ($15) – Crisp and dry, this Champagne method bubbly is a delicious companion to tart lemon and subtle ginger spice. The apple in the juice rounds everything out a little bit and creates an elegant and clean finished product.

• 1 bottle Apple Lemon Ginger
• 1 750ml bottle Cava
• 1 meyer lemon, thinly sliced

Pour 1 ounce of the juice and top off with 2 ounces of cava. Garnish with lemon.

Pink Sparkler with Strawberry Apple Lime

NV Huber “Hugo” Rosé ($16.50) – A blend of Pinot Noir and Austrian grape Zweigelt, this dry sparkling rosé balances the somewhat sweet and feminine strawberry and lime juice. Pink on pink!

• 1 bottle Strawberry Apple Lime
• 1 750ml bottle Sparkling Rosé
• Strawberries, thinly sliced.

Pour 1 ounce of the juice and top off with 2 ounces of rosé. Garnish with sliced strawberries.

“Mulled” Wine with Apple Cinnamon

2009 Primitivo Quiles Cono 4 ($12) –  This 100% Monastrell from Alicante is a wine that has darker fruit flavors and spiciness but isn’t overwhelming in texture. It acts as a delicious base for a classic mulled wine with aromatic star anise and cinnamon.

• 2 bottles Apple Cinnamon
• 1 750ml bottle Sparkling Red Wine
• 2 orange peels
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 2 star anise

Combine all of the ingredients in a pot over medium heat until simmering. Ladle and serve.
