    • Sparkling Rosé Cocktail with Strawberry and Elderflower

    I love a good wine cocktail, and they’re completely underrated. But we all enjoy sangria, and what is sangria if not a wine cocktail?! Think of this Sparkling Strawberry Rosé Cocktail as rosé sangria by the glass! 

    Pairing a dry wine with a sweet liqueur and syrup keeps the cocktail balanced and not too sweet. The elderflower liqueur and honey both have floral flavors in them that blend nicely with the fresh berries and dry wine. 

    I love using a sparkling rosé in this drink, but any rosé is delicious. If you’re not into bubbles, select a traditional bottle of wine. You can also make this cocktail with a dry white wine, if you’re not into rosé or don’t have any on hand. 

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for a Strawberry Rosé Cocktail.
    • Sparkling dry rosé wine - Choose a dry (not sweet) sparkling rosé. Don't have any on hand? Use regular rosé wine and top with 2 ounces of cold, sparkling water. Be sure you choose a rosé wine when making this cocktail. Rosés are made with red wine grapes and are dry. White Zinfandel wines are also pink, but taste much different - and much sweeter - than rosé. 
    • Elderflower liqueur - Choose your favorite. I like St. Germain in this cocktail.
    • Honey Strawberry Simple Syrup - Follow the directions for my strawberry syrup recipe, using honey instead of white sugar in the recipe.

    How to Make a Rosé Cocktail

    Add honey strawberry syrup to a coupe or wine glass.

    Add elderflower liqueur.

    Top with chilled, sparkling rose wine. 

    Stir gently, sip, and enjoy! 

    Garnishing a Strawberry Rosé Cocktail

    I love to place half of a strawberry on the side of the glass. Cut it vertically with the green top still on for the prettiest presentation. If you only have frozen berries, or your fresh berries aren’t looking very pretty, float slices of strawberries - frozen or fresh - in the cocktail instead!
