Pink In the
By Gabrielle Tieman-Lee
‘Tis every season for rosé! It’s refreshing, mildly sweet and pairs with so many dishes in any season.
But if you thought the only way to enjoy rosé was out of a glass, think again. Pick up your go-to bottle of chilled Niagara rosé and try one of these clever cocktails or bubbly sweet desserts that make use of your favorite pink ingredient.
Rosé popsicles Who doesn’t love a Popsicle? After a hot day outside, nothing can quite cool you down like an icy pop of fruit. But these are not your kids' popsicles: slightly effervescent with a punch of spirited wine, these will cool you down and chill you out simultaneously.
Ingredients 2 cups rosé wine (for this recipe, use a floral and fruity rosé like Megalomaniac’s Pink Slip) ½ cup water ½ cup sugar 1 tsp orange zest 2 tsp Spirits (for an extra pop of rose, use Wayne Gretzky Estates Rose Artisanal Spirited Wine) Fresh fruit (strawberries, raspberries, lemon, watermelon, etc.) Combine water and sugar in a small sauce pot, bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool. Combine rosé, sugar-water mixture, orange zest and Spirits in a medium bowl. Place fruit into Popsicle molds and then pour the rosé mixture on top. Insert the Popsicle sticks and freeze overnight or until fairly solid. Any way you cook it up, rosé is the way!
