Top Tipples For Labor Day

Jupiter, FL - September 1, 2020 - The InFlorida team have chosen their top three drinks to enjoy on Labor Day, so it’s time to put the phone down, light up the BBQ and make sure there is plenty ice in the freezer. These drinks will have you dancing in the backyard, doing the conga through the neighborhood and will guarantee this Labor Day is a special day off!

Santa Margherita Sparkling Rosé

Grape Variety: 55% Chardonnay, 40% Glera, 5% Malbec

ABV: 11.5%

Country: Italy

Price: $24.49 - Total Wine

This sparking rosé from Treviso, an Eastern area in the province of Venice, Italy, will awaken your taste buds with a delicate floral nudge. A carefully selected combination of white grapes, including Glera, which is used to produce Prosecco, and a trace of red varietal, Malbec offer a bouquet of summer wildflowers to the nose. On first taste there is a vibrant, refreshing palate, which bathes your taste buds in a bubbly delight with just the right amount of acidity, followed by a soft agreeable basket of red berry fruits.

This is a truly scrumptious, yet unpretentious wine, at a great price. Due to its unassuming soft taste, this sparkling rosé pairs well with most dishes. The InFlorida.com team went all out Italian with a side of the Venetian dish, Carpaccio, thinly sliced beef with a mayo, mustard, cream and tomato sauce and a main of scampetti con polenta, (shrimp on Polenta).

Bosscal Mezcal Joven

100% Agave

ABV: 42%

Origin: Durango, Mexico

Price: $49.99 - Total Wine

This Labor Day why not indulge in our favorite pick for an exceptional mezcal. Crudely put, it is the superior grandfather of tequila, deeper in character and from the heart of the Agave plant. Mezcal can be produced from up to 50 species of the agave plant compared with tequila, which can be made from just one: agave tequilana Weber, or Weber blue agave.

The nose, has a smoky yet fruity aroma, think peaches on a campfire, but unlike many Bosscal Mezcal’s Joven has a lighter taste so is easy to consume as a sipping drink. A sweet agave taste with a hint of smolder, it slides done your throat without any of the harshness that some other Mezcals are known for.

This beverage is a true pleasure and, in our opinion, too good to mix. If, however, you shy away from drinking straight, you can go down the craft cocktail route. We suggest adding a touch of honey or a splash of ginger beer. We paired with BBQ steak, French fries and stuffed portobello mushrooms with blue cheese, garlic and pine nuts.

This 100% organic mezcal, whose slogan is from “Mountain to Market,” is for all those mezcal purists who appreciate quality. Hand selected and produced by a 4th generation Mezcalero in collaboration with the Bosscal team, they refuse to use chemical products or make revisions that may affect the true essence and flavor of high-quality mezcal. The agave is traditionally cooked with volcanic rock in artisanal earth ovens, then ground by hand with axes before being fermented in oak wood vats and finally double-distilled in stainless steel stills and unaged. It was created to be enjoyed neat.
