No matter what the weather outside your window looks like, June is finally here, which means rosé season is full swing. There’s no better time to enjoy a refreshing glass of pink, and basically no limit as to where you should be drinking it. Before bed? Sure. At your desk? Even better! While a simple glass of rosé is delightful, there are several ways for you to kick your sipping up a notch.
Herbs and spices are wonderful in all sorts of boozy beverages, and lavender goes particularly well with rosé. Lavender is both aromatic and a little refreshing, so your palate will feel marvelous after every sip.
Though rosés range in taste, many contain bright fruit flavors like melon, or deeper jam tastes like berries. Let a little fruit soak in your rosé to bring out that natural sweetness that’s perfect on a summer day.
Make a rosé slushy by adding a little ice to your glass. You can go for a sangria texture by adding cubed ice, or a full on naughty snow cone by using crushed ice.
Even though spring is coming to a close, you shouldn’t bid farewell to flowers just yet! There are a variety of lovely edible flowers you can add to your rosé to beautify your wine drinking experience.
If your rosé isn’t already sparkling, that is. Add a splash of seltzer, sparkling wine, or even soda to oomph up the fizz in your wine.
Try adding a splash of gin or vodka to a glass of off-dry rosé. The extra kick of happy will add that much more relaxation to your day. If you want to make a special cocktail, try making our French75 recipe – just use bubbly rosé.
Create an indulgent rosé dessert cocktail by combining heavy creamy and thicker, more sugary rosé. Yes, your drink will be over the top – but it’s summer, why not be a little crazy? Accessorize with some cookies.
