  • Makes one drink, with enough strawberry puree for many
Author Notes

I've traditionally been a purist when it comes to pink wine, but it occurred to me recently that if someone wanted to enjoy the illusion of drinking more rosé without actually getting tipsy, she could combine it with soda water and make a spritzer. (You can take a girl out of the 80s...) What's more, she could whizz up some of those divinely delicious strawberries from the farmers market and add a fruity burst to her spritzer. —Merrill Stubbs

  • 3 ounces dry rosé
  • Soda water
Directions
  1. Strawberry Puree
  2. Stir together the strawberries and sugar in a bowl and let them sit for an hour or so, until nice and juicy.
  3. Puree the berries and sugar in a blender, and then pass the puree through a fine mesh sieve. You should have about 3/4 cup of puree.
  1. Spritzer

I made this last night and thought it was excellent! I used white grape juice instead of the wine to make a lovely non-alcoholic version that was very refreshing and tasted like summer. I'll definitely be making this again.

Good call with the white grape juice! I may try that this weekend...
