Rosé Wine Cocktail Base

Method

Rosé Wine Cocktail Base

1

Combine base liquids

In a large pitcher (about 1.5 L capacity), pour 3 cups of chilled dry Languedoc rosé. Add 1 tablespoon elderflower liqueur and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. Stir gently to incorporate.

2

Taste the base for balance: it should be lightly floral, slightly tart, and not too sweet. Adjust lemon by 1 teaspoon increments if more brightness is needed.

Floral & Fruit Accents

3

Add fruit and sweetener

Whisk in 1/2 cup peach puree and 1 tablespoon honey syrup until smooth and fully integrated. Ensure the puree is well strained beforehand if you prefer a smoother drink.

4

Add delicate aromatics

Add 1/4 teaspoon orange blossom water to the pitcher. Stir once and then rest for 2–3 minutes to let the floral note marry with the wine. Taste and add up to another 1/8 teaspoon if a stronger floral aroma is desired, but use sparingly.

Sparkle & Finish

5

Chill and serve

Add 4 ice cubes to each serving glass (expect 4 servings). Fill each glass 3/4 full with the rosé mixture (about 3/4 cup per glass). Top each glass with about 1/4 cup chilled club soda for a light effervescence. Gently stir once in each glass to combine.

6

Garnish

Float 1–2 edible flowers on the surface of each glass and add a thin lemon or orange slice on the rim. Serve immediately so the flowers remain fresh and intact.

7

If making ahead: keep the rosé base (without club soda and ice) chilled up to 4 hours. Add soda and ice just before serving to preserve bubbles and prevent dilution.
