Like rosé? Cool, you'll like these rosé cocktails. Rosé + additional booze is a win-win situation, and when we're talking about a sunny, lazy season like summer, all we want to do is win. And, you know, drink rosé outside. Here are five rosé cocktails that will keep the summer wins coming:
Rosé-Aperol Spritz
We're calling it. This is the official drink of summer 2017 over here at BA. It's bubbly, fruity, refreshing, and super easy to make in big or small batches. Whether you're laying on the beach or sweating in your AC-less apartment, bubbly pink wine is a truly wonderful thing, friends.
Rosé, Bourbon, and Blue
Some would think, mint julep, when it comes to bourbon-based summer cocktails. We think, rosé. The combination of blueberries, lemon, tea, bourbon, and rosé makes for one hell of a punch bowl. We recommend setting it in the shade, just beside the pool, for maximum pleasure.
Strawberry-Rosé Spritzer
When it hits the peak of summer, we're in the depths of strawberry season. This spritzer pairs perfectly with hammocks and wherever your noisy cousins aren't.
Frosé
You thought we'd leave you without a frozen rosé cocktail? Come on. Frosé is the Serena Williams of the refreshment game. It dominates. Guaranteed to cool you down after getting heated up on the boardwalk, an afternoon run, or basically any other sun-related activities. You're going to want to double this recipe, because it's known to attract guests.
Rosé Spritzer
And then there's the classic with a bit of St. Germain and bitters, the cocktail that made us dive into this whole rosé-plus-booze adventure. Fair warning, you can sip these all afternoon long, so get whatever errands you need to run out of the way early. Then clear the schedule completely.
