By srumbel

Menu Description: "Sutter Home White Zinfandel with DeKuyper Luscious Peachtree schnapps, pineapple juice and lemon-lime soda. Served Mucho size over ice with fresh fruit."

No need to waste expensive wine duplicating this incredibly refreshing new cocktail from Applebee's. Sutter Home White Zinfandel, which runs around 5 bucks a bottle, is the brand of choice at the chain, but feel free to use any white zinfandel on the shelf, even if its in a box. The wine will be diluted with peach schnapps and other ingredients, so no matter which wine you pick, you'll always get delicious, thirst-quenching cocktail that's perfect for warm weather hang time.
