Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 2 (750-ml) bottles dry rosé wine
- 1 cup lemonade
- 4 oz gin
- 2 oz Campari
Fruits
- 3 cups fresh berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
Other
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Berry Mixture: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the fresh berries with the granulated sugar. Gently muddle the berries to release their juices and dissolve the sugar, enhancing the natural sweetness and flavor.
- Add the Liquids: Pour in the dry rosé wine, lemonade, gin, and Campari over the muddled berries. Stir thoroughly to blend all the flavors together.
- Chill the Cooler: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill properly. For best results, chill overnight.
- Serve: Before serving, give the cooler a good stir. Serve over ice in glasses, optionally garnished with fresh berries or a slice of lemon for added appeal.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor and visual appeal.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste preference; some rosés are sweeter and may require less sugar.
- This recipe can be prepared in advance and stored chilled for easy entertaining.
- For a sparkling twist, top off each glass with a splash of soda water or sparkling wine.
- Ensure the lemonade is fresh and not overly sweet for balanced acidity.
