NOTES
Originally enjoyed as a warm mulled wine in the 18th century, the Bishop cocktail has since transformed into a refreshingly modern iced drink. Best made with a light, dry red like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, this cocktail takes its name from the deep, rich color reminiscent of a bishop’s robes.
