Rhine Wine Cup is best served fresh immediately after preparation; do not store mixed cocktail.
Old Mr. Boston Five Star Brandy is traditional, but any dry brandy of similar proof (80–100 proof) works well. Avoid overly aged or premium brandies, which may overpower the lighter citrus liqueurs.
Mix the brandy, Triple Sec, Curaçao, and powdered sugar in advance, but add carbonated water only immediately before serving to preserve carbonation.
Serve over ice in a wine glass or punch bowl. Chill the glass beforehand or add ice to the drink itself just before serving.
No—Rhine Wine Cup uses brandy and liqueurs rather than wine as its base, making it sweeter and stronger than a typical wine spritzer.
Yes. Multiply all ingredients by the number of servings needed. Mix the brandy, liqueurs, and sugar in a punch bowl, then add carbonated water just before guests arrive.
