Sparkling Grapefruit Rosé Cocktail Recipe

This Sparkling Grapefruit Rosé Cocktail Recipe is a bit vintage, I do agree, rather fashionable ten years ago in France, but it’s super delicious and very refreshing so I had to share it with you!

So yes, you can simply pour a shot of grapefruit syrup into rosé or buy it ready-made, but today I’m proposing a cocktail that’s a little more sophisticated, yet still very simple and easy to prepare.

This fresh cocktail is perfect for summer aperitifs, and will give them a real vacation feel…

Sparkling Grapefruit Rosé Cocktail Recipe

Which wine should you use to make a rosé grapefruit cocktail?

For my part, I’m clearly not a big fan of sugar, so I always tend to remove half the sugar from a dessert recipe, and the same goes for cocktails.

For this cocktail, the grapefruit syrup will already provide the sugar, so I’d advise you to choose a rosé with a low sugar content.

What ingredients do you need to make this cocktail?

• pink grapefruit syrup
• chilled dry rosé (or fruity) wine
• sparkling water
• grapefruit juice
• fresh pink grapefruit for decoration, if desired
• ice cubes or crushed ice
• a sprig of rosemary for decoration, if desired
