The rosé wine here adds a nice fruity acidity that brings the sweetness of the drink down just enough. The simple syrup can be made and chilled a day ahead so that when it’s time to serve, the drink comes together in no time. There is truly no better accompaniment to your summer party menu. Cheers!

Ingredients

Simple Syrup:

6 ounces sugar (by weight)

Cocktails:

4 whole strawberries, hulled, plus 2 slices for garnish

6 fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces, plus more for garnish

8 ounces rosé

Directions

  1. For the syrup: Combine the sugar and 6 ounces water in a small pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Cool completely.
  2. For the cocktails: Place the strawberries in a shaker with the basil. Muddle for 10 seconds, just to smash together. Add the rosé along with 2 ounces simple syrup and some ice; shake. Divide into red wine glasses or tall glasses filled with ice. Garnish with strawberry slices or basil leaves on the rim.

Very refreshing drink. We did add a splash of cucumber vodka to the drink, and used a little agave instead of simple syrup.
