- 3 oz sparkling rosé
- 1 and ½ oz London dry gin
- ¾ oz simple syrup
- ¾ oz fresh lemon juice

This refreshing drink is simple and sweet, literally. There’s no need for bartender-worthy mixing skills, just two of your favourite liquids in one cup to make it a party. Yes, we’re talking about rosé and lemonade. Grab the following ingredients and add to your drink lineup!

Campari Spritz
This tried and true classic features the ultimate summer duo, Rosé and lemon, and has a sultry red hue that resembles the summer sunset you watch each night. The refreshing taste of this drink makes it perfect for pool parties, or sipping as you get an outdoor massage with your girls!

Rosé Wine Granita
Also known as a frosé, this drink is a bit trickier to make, as you need to have enough additional sugar and non-alcoholic liquid on hand to keep it frozen on the hottest summer days. But once you master it? You’ll never go back.
Susannah at Feast + West shares this recipe and prep tip: To transform this pretty drink into a snow cone, add a thin layer of liquid to a flat dish or two that will fit in your freezer and rake it through with a fork every hour or two until frozen. Serve scoops in a beautiful glass for a favourite cocktail or dessert.
- 2 cups rosé wine
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
Rosé Grapefruit Mimosa
Mimosas are commonly associated with brunch, and you can give them a summertime twist by adding fruitiness and your favourite pink wine. Swap out the orange juice for grapefruit juice and add a bit of rosé champagne to this refreshing drink, celebrating good times with your girls as you become innovators of the most popular brunch drink.
