La Vie en Rosé

From the very start of this blog, wine has always been the “ugly duckling” in my posts. Sparkling wines are often used to top off a drink, so they still pop up regularly in a French 75 or Negroni Sbagliato. Red wine is only necessary for a fruity float on a New York Sour. And then I got this question to do something with a very nice rosé wine. 

Mouton Cadet Organic Rosé is the second organic wine, launched by Baron Philippe de Rothschild. Earlier he already launched a red organic wine. You drink this wine chilled on a summer evening, maybe try to squeeze a citrus zest over the surface. Or use it in a cocktail like I did. 

This was – by the way – the second cocktail that I’ve tried with shaved ice. Next up, I’ll try the KitchenAid Ice shaver with a frozen drink.
