There are few drinks more effective at quenching your summer thirst than the spritz, and fortunately, there are so many versions of this beloved Italian beverage that they can tide you over for the entire season.
This cocktail originally hails from northern Italy, where people from the Veneto province have been pairing wine with bitter liquors and a splash of soda water since the early 1900s. To this day, the spritz is still a keystone of Italian drinking culture and the country’s evening ritual of aperitivo, when friends gather to relax and chat over drinks and snacks after getting off work and before heading to dinner.
The hottest of the summer months are almost here. It is time to enjoy a summer cocktail. This recipe for Rose Wine Spritz Cocktail is a refreshing cocktail to enjoy by the pool or a gathering.
This delicious cocktail with strawberries, blueberries, lemon-lime soda, and vodka will tickle your tastebuds. You can use your favorite brand of vodka for this recipe.
I used organic blueberries and strawberries. This cocktail will impress your guests at your pool party for the fourth of July if the restrictions of social gatherings are eased later this summer. A variety of Rose wines at the total wine website would be delicious in this refreshing drink.
