Get Flirty and Fruity This Valentines with Echo Falls*

With Valentine’s day right around the corner I am sure some of you will be planning something with your partners or even planning a night alone. This year to save money I am cooking a meal for my boyfriend at home and it wouldn’t be complete without a glass of my favourite Echo Falls wine. As you may recall, I created some delicious cocktails with a festive twist so when Echo Falls contacted me about trying their exciting limited edition Rose infused wine, I knew it would be the perfect addition to my Valentine’s Day meal.

Echo Falls have been experimenting with innovative flavours to come up with this limited edition fusion that will go down perfectly on the most romantic day of the year. Blended with the natural flavour of roses, this sweet treat with a floral twist is absolutely delicious. Echo Falls is currently the third largest wine brand in the UK and my personal favourite. I love trying out any new flavours that they come up with and seeing this in the shops would definitely catch my eye.

Even the label oozes with romance. Decorated with beautiful roses and a metallic stamp reading ‘I Love You’ this is the perfect Valentines’s gift and accompaniment. The back of the label even allows you to come up with your own ‘Roses are red’ poem with a space for you to write a little message to that special someone.

This drink is best served chilled over ice. When I poured myself a glass I instantly could smell that lovely rose fragrance but upon taking a sip this is a subtle and welcome taste to the wine. It’s a shame this is limited edition as I love this combination of sweet flavours and I hope Echo Falls bring it back each year. I can’t wait to see what they come up with next.

Echo Falls Limited Edition Rose Infused Wine is currently available in Morrisons and Tescos RRP £5.99 a bottle. There is still time to pick your loved one up a delicious treat today. Check out Echo Falls on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

The Perfect Festive Cocktails With Echo Falls Fruit Fusion*

I love cocktails especially around Christmas and New Year when I feel that I can really let my hair down. I have never thought about using wine in cocktails before so when Echo Falls contacted me about trying some of their cocktail recipes featuring the Fruit Fusion range I couldn’t wait to try them out. These recipes were provided to me from Echo Fall’s and I am going to show you how to create them yourself. They are super easy and absolutely delicious. I even converted someone who doesn’t like wine into drinking them and they said they were really tasty.

Echo Falls is currently the third largest wine brand in the UK and my personal favourite. The Echo Falls Fruit Fusion range was introduced a year ago and consists of Cocoa & Orange, Orange & Cranberry, Winter Spice, Strawberry & Lime and Passion Fruit & Peach. I received the Strawberry & Lime and the Passion Fruit & Peach bottles which are both absolutely delicious. I am not a drinker of strong wines and these flavours are so nice and not strong at all. They slide down almost too easily.. The Strawberry & Lime Echo Falls Fruit Fusion is available at Tesco for £5.99. The taste is sweet and you can pick up the strawberry flavours but it also has a nice citrus kick from the lime – it’s the perfect combination. The Passion Fruit & Peach Echo Falls Fruit Fusion is also available from Tesco for £5.99. This was my favourite and the combination of the passion fruit and the peach is absolutely delicious. When these wines are combined with other ingredients to make the below cocktails, it’s a taste sensation. Read on for the recipes..
