DELICIOUS AND UNIQUE ROSÉ COCKTAILS FOR SUMMER!

The Best Rose Cocktail Recipes

We’re sharing the best rose cocktail recipes, because you can’t “Rosé All Day,” if you don’t start in the morning … right? We accepted that challenge in honor of National Rosé Day on June 12, 2021. No other wine is more closely associated with sunshine, warm breezes and pure summer joy than rosé. To celebrate the season to its fullest extent, we’re sharing three of the best rose cocktails that (you guessed it) are perfect to drink morning, noon and night! Better yet, we encourage you to discover each of them on National Rosé Day!

1. THE PERFECT ROSE COCKTAIL FOR BRUNCH … !

The Best Rose Cocktail Recipes

One of my favorite brunch drinks can be found at Parker and Quinn, a fantastic bistro located in the Refinery Hotel and situated within the heart of Manhattan’s swanky fashion district. Their Rosé Sangria is the perfect complement to a truly great menu of breakfast standards. It’s the ideal way to begin the day and prepare for whatever Big-Apple adventure awaits you. While I couldn’t find their exact recipe, this substitute comes pretty darn close. It is equally as refreshing as it is easy to make. Plus, it’s just pretty. This drink is perfect to serve at a brunch, shower or bachelorette party.

ROSÉ SANGRIA

¾ cup elderflower liqueur (we used St. Germain)
3 cups cubed watermelon
⅓ cup coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves
1 750-ml bottle sparkling rosé, chilled
Ice

Combine liqueur, watermelon and mint in a large pitcher. Refrigerate for three to four hours. Just before serving, stir in rose. Serve over ice. (Recipe courtesy: EatingWell).

2. ENJOY THIS AFTERNOON DELIGHT, TODAY OR ANY DAY!

Summer afternoons are all about relaxation. Whether it’s lounging by a pool, curling up in the hammock with a good read, or enjoying the scenery from your favorite shaded spot in park, we’ve got the perfect companion to take along with you. We served ours in a pretty glass pitcher, but you could easily make this ahead and transport it in a lidded decanter. It’s great for an outdoor picnic. The grapefruit wedge garnish makes it as inviting to look at, as it is delicious to sip!

ROSÉ APEROL SPRITZ

¾ cup passion fruit juice, chilled
¼ cup Aperol
¼ cup fresh lime juice
4 tsp. sugar
1 750-ml bottle sparkling rosé, chilled
Ruby red grapefruit wedges (for garnish)

Whisk passion fruit juice, Aperol, lime juice, and sugar in a large pitcher until sugar is dissolved. Stir in rosé. Serve spritz in large ice-filled wine glasses. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge. (Recipe courtesy: Bon Appetit)

3. THE PERFECT ENDING TO A PERFECT SUMMER DAY …

Oh those summer nights! Enjoying the sounds of summer and the gorgeous sunsets these months bring with them is probably my absolutely favorite part of the season. This rosé cocktail is one you’ll just want to sit back, relax and savor. The unique combination of rosé and tequila, gives this libation interest, as well as a bit of a kick. It’s perfect to share with friends before a leisurely dinner, while the sun slowly sets and the sound of katydids hum in the background. Oh. Those. Summer. Nights!

SUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM

1 ounce Blanco tequila
.5 oz Aperol
.75 oz fresh lemon juice
.5 oz strawberry simple syrup (see recipe below)
1 oz Rosé

Shake Blanco tequila, Aperol, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Strain over ice into a rocks glass. Top with sparkling rosé and garnish with strawberry fan. (Recipe courtesy of Elle Décor).

STRAWBERRY SIMPLE SYRUP:

In a saucepan, add one cup water, one cup sugar and one cup hulled, diced strawberries. Simmer and stir until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat and stir for 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let mixture cool to room temperature. Transfer through a strainer into a refrigerator-safe container for future use. To keep up to 3 months, add one ounce vodka to syrup before storing.
