Whether getting ready for a hot date at home or preparing for a single night out, these sexy drinks are just the treat to get you going. Sip on the MARTINI Rosato Royale, a light and refreshing cocktail with a suave mix of MARTINI Rosato and MARTINI Sparkling Rosé to enhance the night. To top off an amazing evening, toast with the MARTINI Asti Red Blush, featuring the delicately sweet MARTINI Asti mixed together with strawberry puree and rose syrup.

MARTINI Sparkling Wine Minis are affordable and adorable, delivering bubbly merriment in small doses! They are individual serving-sized bottles (187mL – roughly a quarter the size of a “regular” bottle) filled with the effervescence of the best-selling imported sparkling wine in the United States.  Available in MARTINI Sparkling Rosé, Prosecco and Asti, the minis are fun and flirty, perfect for a romantic  Valentine’s Day evening!  (SRP: $14.99 /4-pack)
