🧊 Why it works ?
The Ginger Voiturette is all about balance: light sweetness from the ginger ale, citrusy spice from the ginger, and fruity acidity from the wine. The result is both refreshing and complex. Ginger adds warm depth, while lime boosts the wine’s natural freshness.
A quick-to-make cocktail that’s cleverly composed for summer sipping.
🍽️ Food pairing tip
Serve the Ginger Voiturette as an aperitif with marinated prawn bites, toast with lemony goat’s cheese mousse or sea bream ceviche. These fresh, iodised dishes enhance the minerality of the wine, while the citrus fruit and fresh herbs prolong the vivacity of the cocktail. A moment of freshness guaranteed!
