Flower Power Spritzer

Oh yes way, Rosé!

I’ve got my first ever cocktail for you! I am in love with this rosé with this one for three reasons:

1) It’s EASY

2) It’s freaking DELICIOUS

3) It’s PRETTY

this for later

Put all three of these together and it’s the holy grail of food and drink. In all seriousness, it’s a really balanced drink that is super refreshing. I recommend getting a brut sparkling rosé. Brut is a fancy French word that means “raw, crude,” and in terms of sparkling wine or champagne degree of sweetness it’s means “dry.” It kind of makes your mouth pucker, but in a refreshing way like lemonade. Combine this with a flowery, syrupy elderflower liqueur like St-Germain, which sweetens up the drink a bit. I garnished up the drink with some edible rose petals (only $1.99 from World Market!!) With all the botanical flowers going on and the bubbles from the sparkling wine, I’m calling this drink my “Flower Power Spritzer.”

It’s a perfect Spring/Summer drink, and would make a great substitute for mimosas at Sunday brunch or Mother’s Day.

Now what are you waiting for? Let the good times roll.
