Yay! The last wine cocktail of the month is going to one of my favourites! Rose wine cocktails are absolutely a delight and they are the best summer cocktails to try.
I have talked enough about Rose wine in this post. It’s light, refreshing and fruity and I don’t think there is anything else that I can ask from my alcohol.
Even though it’s pink, there is nothing feminine about this drink. Fruity alcohol is always welcomed for a change. It’s my go-to drink when I want a kick without any hangover.
The main reason associating Rosé with summers is not because it’s refreshing. It is because of the production timings and limited quantities. It is usually out by spring and the sales end by falls, which gives it a season feel. But now the production has increased and you can find it through-out the year.
This one summer wine cocktail is super easy. Also, Rose is a cheaper variety of wine, so having this cocktail doesn’t have to cost a bomb! Rosé can be used for making several cocktails. And trust me, there will come a time in your life when you will enjoy drinking cocktails more than anything. This cocktail uses lemonade, which is according to me, a must drink for summers! If you use bottled lemonade, this recipe is even easier for you!
Do not drink and drive. Be responsible
Ingredients

Notes
You can use ready-to-use lemonade if you like.
Adding a li'l bit of fruit juice of your choice to the pink lemonade is also a good idea. I add watermelon juice!
You can pin the recipe too. I hope you enjoy this on a hot summer afternoon, while reading your favourite book by the pool.

Fun Fact: Rosé is what we call it in French. The Spanish name is Rosado and the Italian name is Rosato. Hah!
