🥂 Blanco No. 5: The Sparkle Behind the Sweetness

At the heart of The Whipped & Smitten is our signature sparkling wine, Blanco No. 5.

Blanco No. 5 is brüt-style dry bubbly that is chic, silky, and classic. Its dryness keeps this cocktail balanced — cutting through the richness of cream and vanilla so every sip feels light, not heavy.

🍰 Garnish Like You Mean It

The garnish is part of the experience.

Top with whipped cream.

Add a Little Debbie vanilla heart cake to the rim.

The result? A soft pink, creamy, sparkling wine cocktail that feels flirty and festive — perfect for brunch in Indianapolis, Galentine’s gatherings, or a date night at your favorite Indianapolis winery.

🧠 NERD ALERT: Balancing Sweet + Sparkling

Cream-based cocktails can easily feel heavy or overly sweet. That’s where sparkling wine changes the game.

Blanco No. 5’s brüt dryness and fine bubbles lighten the texture and lift the aromatics of vanilla and pomegranate. The acidity from pomegranate juice adds brightness, while grenadine enhances color and a subtle fruit depth.

The bubbles keep everything feeling airy.

It’s dessert-inspired, but still structured.

Fun — but balanced.
