It’s always a good time for a cocktail, right? At least that’s what we always say! You guys know our love for rosé. A glass (or two) is pretty much always in at least one of our IG stories. It’s the perfect drink for summer! That’s why we were SO excited when we stumbled upon this recipe for a WINE COCKTAIL that included rosé. Um, sign us up! We decided to put our own twist on the recipe by turning it into somewhat of a spritzer. This makes it even better for those hot summer days. Nothing beats lounging by the pool with a drink. Friends with pools, you’ve been warned. We’re coming over all summer long. The original recipe can be found here. This wine cocktail is perfect for a summer BBQ with friends and family. It’s light and super refreshing. As we sit here writing this post, we’re really craving a glass. Brb going to make one…or two. Cheers!
