ROSÉ SEASON

It’s officially SUMMER which means rosé on repeat in our house! Anyone else?

I typically opt for light, dry rosés as I find they are just so lovely to sip (and easy, let’s be honest) and they also pair so effortlessly with food.

One of our favourite local wineries, KEW Vineyards, located in Beamsville, ON launched a beautiful rosé last summer. It is light, crisp and so easy to sip! It pairs perfectly with sunshine, warm temperatures and Matt’s Summer Strawberry Crostini.

INGREDIENTS:

1 bottle KEW Vineyards rosé (or rosé of your choice)

2 cans bubly sparkling water, berry flavour

1 lime, juiced

1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

1/4 cup strawberries (we love getting ours from local farmers markets!)

2 organic plums, sliced

Ice

DIRECTIONS:

Combine and mix all ingredients in a pitcher.

Pour into desired glass, garnish + serve. ENJOY!
