Strawberry and Rosé Wine Spritzer
Subtle hints of strawberry infused into a beautiful dry rosé with a bright splash of bittersweet orange and fresh lemon woven throughout! It’s light, it’s crisp and it’s refreshing!
Ingredients
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, about ¾ pound
- 1 bottle good rosé wine
- 1 cup sparkling mineral water or sparkling strawberry water
- ½ cup Aperol
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup
- Whole, fresh strawberries for garnish and ice or frozen strawberries for serving
Instructions
- Rinse, hull and slice the strawberries. You should have about 2 cups of sliced berries.
- Place the sliced strawberries in a large pitcher and pour the rosé wine over them. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours.
- When you’re ready to serve scoop the sliced strawberries from the wine. Add the mineral water along with the Aperol, the lemon juice and the simple syrup. Stir to blend together.
- Toss ice or some frozen strawberries into a tall glass and add the spritzer.
- Garnish with a fresh whole strawberry perched on the rim.
Notes
This is a great cocktail to make ahead. The berries need to chill with the wine for 3 to 4 hours before serving.
