Rosé Sparkler
It’s time for another great cocktail – one that combines some of my favorite things.
The first is Rosé vodka. I discovered this last summer and was immediately in love with it. There are a lot of flavored vodkas out there and this one tastes a bit like rosé wine. Yet unlike many flavored vodkas, this one is not overpowering; it’s subtle. And it’s completely drinkable on its own on ice. And bonus, if you are watching your calories. (But warning… vodka has more alcohol so don’t let the taste fool you into consuming as much as you would drinking wine.)
Compari is a lovely red Italian bitter, with notes of orange peel and other fruits. It’s strong and could be off-putting for some. That’s why if you think it’s too strong for your tastes I recommend its orange counterpart, Aperol, which is a bit sweeter. Either way, these lovely Italian bitters go well with a lot of things as mixers. You’ll love having them in your home bar to experiment.
And the combination here, along with some prosecco, is so wonderful! It’s a go-t0 for brunch and warm summer evenings by the pool.
