Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup simple syrup, store bought or homemade
  • 10 lemons
  • 1 (750 milliliter) bottle rosé wine (see headnotes)
  • club soda, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make a simple syrup: If you’re using store bought simple syrup skip this step. To make simple syrup at home: In a small saucepan set over medium-high heat, combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the color changes from gray to clear. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  2. Prep the lemons: While the simple syrup cools, scrub one lemon and slice into wheels. Juice enough of the remaining lemons to yield 1 cup of juice. Use a sieve to strain out any pulp.
  3. Mix: In a large pitcher, stir together the cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, 2 cups of water, and rosé wine. Add in the reserved lemon wheels and set in your refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
  4. Serve: If you’re using club soda, fill 6-8 iced tea glasses with ice and divide the cocktail amongst the glasses, leaving about 2-inches of room at the top. Top with club soda. Or, ladle the mixture into ice-filled wine glasses. If you have any lemons left over, you can garnish with additional lemon wheels if desired. Cheers!

Notes

  • If you’d like to make a single-serving drink, combine 1/4 cup of rosé wine and 2/3 cups of lemonade over ice, stir gently, top with club soda (if using), and enjoy!
  • Opt for a dry rosé (I especially love La Grand' Vigne Rose Provence Coteaux Varois or Aix Rosé which are both under $20).
  • This cocktail can be made up to one day ahead. Simply wait to add ice and club soda and store the Rosé Lemonade covered in your refrigerator.
  • Make the most out of your lemons and use a vegetable peeler to remove the yellow skin from the pith before you juice the lemons for this recipe. Save them to make Homemade Limoncello!
