The Rosé Spritz cocktail is a delightful variation of the classic spritz, bringing together the light, fruity flavors of rosé wine with the effervescence of soda water.
This refreshing cocktail originated in the Veneto region of Italy, much like its cousin, the Aperol Spritz. Over time, it has become a favorite for those looking to enjoy something a bit more delicate and floral.
The Rosé Spritz is perfect for warm summer evenings, brunch gatherings, or as a light aperitif before a meal. Its vibrant color and crisp taste make it an irresistible choice for any occasion.
