It’s May 3, in Maine, and we’ve had two days in a row above 60 degrees. This is cause for celebration, don’t you think?
I drink Rosé all year round, but I reserve the Rosé cocktail for warmer weather. It’s light, refreshing and oh so lovely! I can’t tell you how glad I am to have both warmer weather and a rosé cocktail right now! Did I mention it’s May 3???
You don’t have to be a fancy mixologist to get this right! You don’t even have to measure if you ask me, but I’ll share my proportions for you below. All you need is a bottle of rosé, elderflower syrup, lemon, mint and some seltzer.
I like to use a lighter colored, crisp rosé for this recipe, like Vino or Ana shown. The eldeflower syrup we carry from Austria is delicious, biodynamic and will last for many, many cocktails.
Rosé Cocktail
Muddle two lemon slices and a few small sprigs of mint in a glass.
Add ice, 2oz elderflower syrup, 5oz of your favorite rosé and stir.
Top with a splash of seltzer.
Enjoy!
If your rosé isn’t cold yet, pour a little in a mason jar and stick it in the freezer for a bit. If you’re lucky you’ll get some beautiful frosé ice crystals! Just don’t forget about it in the freezer!
