A red wine cocktail to surprise your friends.

Yes, it's a red wine cocktail, served chilled. It's a time to live dangerously and experiment!

In your cocktail shaker place cracked ice and the following ingredients:

• 3 ounces red wine
• 2 ounces lemon juice (Be aware that bottled juices are sweeter than fresh. Always use fresh juice for the best results.)
• 2 teaspoons simple syrup (To make your own simple syrup, dissolve two cups sugar in one cup water, until the water boils. The longer you boil the water, the stronger the syrup. It should be the consistency of olive oil not honey. Place in an attractive bottle.)

Shake ingredients together and pour into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange twist.
