Strawberry Rosé Spritz

When life gives you strawberries, make a Strawberry Rosé Spritz!

This cocktail is everything you want in a drink: refreshing, fruity, bubbly, and just the right amount of fancy.

Picture this: a vibrant pink drink sparkling in the sunlight, with a sprig of rosemary lending it a touch of sophistication. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and herbal, bubbly and boozy.

I’m obsessed with this drink because it’s the life of the party in a glass!

Whether it’s Valentine’s Day, a baby shower, a laid-back girls’ night, or just Tuesday, this spritz turns any moment into an occasion.

So grab your cocktail shaker and let’s dive into the world of this irresistible rosé refresher!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 oz strawberry purée (about 4-5 fresh strawberries, hulled)
• 4 oz rosé wine (choose a dry or semi-dry variety)
• 2 oz sparkling water
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary (for garnish, and a hint of aroma)
• 1 tsp sugar or honey (optional, for sweetening the purée)
• Ice cubes (enough to fill your glass)

Breaking It Down:

Strawberry Purée: The star of the show! Fresh strawberries work best here. They’re sweet, juicy, and give this cocktail its luscious pink hue. If your strawberries aren’t super sweet, a tiny bit of sugar or honey can work wonders.

Rosé Wine: This is the backbone of your spritz. Go for a rosé that’s crisp and not overly sweet—Provence rosé is always a solid choice. Bonus: it’s an excuse to sample a few bottles while deciding which one to use.

Sparkling Water: Adds that signature spritz. Any unflavored sparkling water or club soda will do, but if you want to get fancy, try a lightly flavored one like strawberry or citrus.

Rosemary Sprig: Don’t skip this! It’s not just for looks; rosemary’s herbal aroma elevates the drink and balances the sweetness.

Sugar or Honey: Totally optional, but a pinch of sweetness can help balance tart strawberries. Taste your purée first to decide.

Ice Cubes: Because no one likes a lukewarm spritz.

How to Make a Strawberry Rosé Spritz

Step 1: Make the Strawberry Purée

Start by tossing your hulled strawberries into a blender or food processor.

Blend until smooth, then taste-test like the discerning mixologist you are. If it’s a little tart, add a teaspoon of sugar or honey and blend again.

Pro tip: Strain the purée through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother texture. No one wants seeds in their spritz—we’re classy here.

Step 2: Prep Your Glass

Fill your favorite wine glass (or any fancy glass you’ve been dying to use) with ice cubes. Not only does this chill the drink, but it also makes you look like you know what you’re doing.

Step 3: Build the Cocktail

Pour 2 oz of your strawberry purée into the glass. Follow it up with 4 oz of rosé wine.

Hold your applause, we’re not done yet!

Add 2 oz of sparkling water to give it that refreshing fizz.

Step 4: Garnish Like a Pro

Take a sprig of fresh rosemary and give it a gentle smack between your palms to release the oils. Trust me, this is the kind of cocktail magic that impresses everyone.

Place it in your glass as a garnish, letting the aroma mingle with the strawberry sweetness.

Step 5: Stir and Sip

Give the drink a gentle stir to mix all the flavors. Grab a cozy spot, maybe snap a photo for Instagram (this drink is made for the ‘gram), and enjoy every sip of your Strawberry Rosé Spritz.

Tips for the Best Strawberry Rosé Spritz

Chill Everything: A cold drink is a happy drink. Keep your rosé and sparkling water in the fridge until you’re ready to mix.

Experiment with Ratios: Like it sweeter? Add more strawberry purée. Prefer it drier? Dial down the purée and up the rosé. This cocktail is flexible like that.

Batch It for a Crowd: Hosting a party? Multiply the ingredients and mix up a big pitcher. Just hold off on adding the sparkling water until you’re ready to serve to keep the fizz alive.
