We’re longtime fans of Food52, aka a community of cooks and eaters exchanging recipes, ideas and more. They’re one of our home cooking go-tos and we’re republishing select new pieces to highlight some useful ideas and techniques.
Today: The ladies behind the meme-turned-brand Yes Way Rosé, Nikki Huganir and Erica Blumenthal, think everything’s coming up rosé this summer. We asked them to come up with five easy summertime cocktails featuring their favorite pink drink.
It’s no secret that we think rosé is the best beverage ever. Crisp, dry, and the most beautiful pale pink color, it’s really the ideal summer wine. While rosé is plenty perfect on its own, sometimes it’s fun to shake things up. Since we see rosé as a reflection of laid-back summertime vibes, any cocktail made with it needs to have that same casual-cool feel.
