Raise your Glass to Summer!
Sydney summers can be brutal but you need to stay positive! Which is why we love this years’ new cocktail the Frosé. (It’s a fancy name for frozen wine!) It’s light, refreshing and VERY easy to make - The perfect way to stay ‘cool’ this summer.
All Frosé starts with a rosé wine. Our wine of choice is a local favourite, A.Retief’s ‘Winbirra’ Rosé from Urban Winery. We ‘upped the ante’ with fresh strawberries, our Riberry Shrub and a touch of ‘something’ extra with a splash of Cherry Heering liqueur added to the fruit. The rosé is dry, beautifully balanced and the perfect match for the sweetened fruit.
How easy was it to make? Just freeze the rosé wine overnight. (It won’t freeze completely because of the rosés’ alcohol content.) In the meantime hull and slice the strawberries (5 - 6). Mix with 30ml of the Riberry Shrub and 15ml of Cherry Heering liqueur. Set aside.
When you’re ready to serve assemble your Frosé cocktail. Start with the frozen rosé then add a quick layer of the marinated fruit. Next a layer of frozen rosé and another layer for fruit. Keep going until you reach the top of your glass, finishing off with the frozen rosé. Garnish with a strawberry!
Our hardest problem was trying to decide if our Frosé was our favourite dessert or cocktail!
