Boozy No Strings Attached Recipe

Chill glassware

Place a Collins or large wine glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare ingredients to ensure the drink stays cold.

Measure and chill all liquid ingredients (Day Lemonade Rosé, dry rosé, vodka, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, club soda). Using chilled ingredients prevents excessive dilution and preserves effervescence.

Build the cocktail

Remove the chilled glass from the freezer and discard ice water if used. Add fresh ice to fill the glass about three-quarters full (roughly 1 cup).

Pour 12 oz Day Lemonade Rosé into the glass over the ice.

Add 4 oz chilled dry rosé wine to deepen the wine profile and add structure.

Measure and pour 1 oz vodka and 0.5 oz St. Germain (elderflower liqueur) into the glass to add body and floral complexity.

Add 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice for brightness. Taste and, if you prefer slightly sweeter, add 0.25 oz simple syrup and gently stir once to integrate.

Top with 1 oz chilled club soda or sparkling water to give a light fizz—pour gently to preserve bubbles.

Gently stir once with a bar spoon (about 4–6 rotations) to combine without over-diluting.

Garnish the rim or float a lemon wheel on top and tuck a fresh mint sprig beside it for aroma. Clap the mint between your hands once before adding to release oils.

Serve immediately with a straw or long spoon. Provide a small napkin; this drink is best enjoyed cold and effervescent.
