Extra-dry, extra-cold white wine can provide the basis for a dazzling array of “cocktails” that make for light and interesting party fare.

Add a spoonful of Framboise, Mirabelle, or Poire Williams to a glass of chilled white wine and garnish with the appropriate fruit.
Fresh fruit makes a glass of white wine prettier and adds flavor of its own as well.
Try adding a dash of peach or berry purée, a few grapes, a slice of mango, or a few balls of fresh melon to make this classic more festive.
A sprig of mint is beautiful and tasty, too. Crush it lightly in the bottom of the glass and pour in the chilled white wine.
Peel and slice a kiwi and freeze the slices. Float 1 or 2 frozen slices in a glass of chilled white wine. Frozen strawberries and black cherries are nice, too.
Stir a spoonful of fresh orange juice and a splash of soda or seltzer into the white wine. Serve iced or straight up.
Don’t forget the trusty lemon. Something as simple as a freshly cut lemon section or a twist of lemon peel dropped into a glass of white wine, iced or not, is a refreshing touch.
