Rosé Wine Drinks To Enjoy

Rosé Wine Cocktail

Sometimes, summers get so hot that breezes become inefficient for people to cool off. It is at such times that a rosé cocktail comes in handy. The good thing about rosés is that they are generally cheap.

This affordability means that you can concoct as many rosé wine cocktails as you please without breaking the bank. With a bottle of rosé, a dash of gin and syrup, and some citrus, you can concoct a refreshing, delicious cocktail.

Ingredients

• 2 Lemon Wedges for Use in Garnishing
• 2 Slices of Grapefruit
• Ice Cubes
• 6 Oz Rosé Wine (Choose A Good Wine)
• 1.5 Oz Gin
• 0.5 Oz Simple Syrup

Directions

Place the lemon wedges and grapefruit at the bottom of your wine glass. Proceed to add the ice cubes, gin, and rosé in the glass and be sure to stir the mixture well. Add the simple syrup to the mix and vary it depending on your desired sweetness. (If you want a sugary drink, feel free to use much more simple syrup than that indicated in the recipe. Using the amount stipulated will result in a sweet but not overly sugary cocktail.) Strain the mix into a wine glass and add the grapefruit and the lemon wedges for garnishing.

This cocktail is adequate for one person. If you want to serve more people, adjust the ingredients accordingly.

Watermelon Slushy Rosé

Rosé wine drinks are known for their refreshing, yet not so sweet tastes. As such, you can down many of them without getting sick from the sugars. Here is a refreshing rosé to add to your list of rosé wine drinks.

Instructions

It is important that you pour out the rosé wine you intend to use in a jug. Leaving it in the bottle will make the preparation process difficult. First off, it will prove cumbersome to remove the wine from the container when half-frozen. If you succeed in emptying the bottle, most of the rosé will melt before it leaves the bottle. As such, you will have to repeat the process, hence a more extended waiting period.

You should also note that the consistency of the cocktail is dependent on your taste. Feel free to adjust the watermelon and ice cubes according to your needs.

Ingredients

• 1 Bottle of Rosé Wine
• 1 Cup of Cubed Watermelons
• A Handful of Ice Cubes

Directions

Pour the wine into a full container and let it freeze for about six hours. Due to the alcohol content in the rosé, the wine will not freeze completely. Add the other ingredients to the rosé wine and place the mix in a blender. Proceed to crush the mixture until the components are evenly combined. If you wish to have a hardened cocktail, you can chill the mix in the freezer for a few hours. You can also opt to use the cocktail as is and it will go down smooth.

These ingredients are adequate to prepare rosé wine drinks for four people.
