Cocktail of the week: Courtyard Wine Cellar’s pear and white wine fizz – recipe

A seasonal, sangria-style mood-lifter, perfect for an autumn toast

A crisp, refreshing cocktail with an autumnal twist, where dry white wine meets subtly sweet pear and zesty lemon, all balanced by a simple, aromatic sage syrup. Light, herbal and beautifully layered, this is a stylishly seasonal toast.
