It so fresh and flavorful! Tastes like summer in a glass.
Not impressed at all! The Rose wine overpowered everything else. Meh
Wow, this was great!
Delicious! Very refreshing and the sparkling rose wine added a great effervescence. My friends, and most importantly I, loved it!
Fun summer cocktail!
Delicious – like being on a cruise ship on my own patio! I do strain the juice and add back just a bit of the raspberries.
Delicious! Great for a nice hot summer afternoon or evening! This was a light, tasty, and not overly sweet sparkling cocktail. Wonderful beginning to an evening meal, gathering with friends or a “girls night in.” Fruity and bubbly! We’ll definitely enjoy again.
