Whether you’re lounging by the pool, hosting a backyard BBQ, or just kicking back on a sunny afternoon, this drink is bound to keep the good vibes flowing.
Ingredients:
1 bottle Pink Moscato (chilled) – This sweet, fruity wine is the perfect base for a sparkling drink that pairs beautifully with lemonade.
1 cup Pink Lemonade (fresh or store-bought) – A sweet and tart lemonade that balances the Moscato’s sweetness.
Lemon Slices (for garnish) – Adds a fresh, citrusy touch and a pop of color.
1-2 tbsp Sugar (optional) – If you like your drink sweeter, a little sugar goes a long way. You can also use a flavored syrup or honey for extra sweetness.
Ice (to chill) – Serve your drink ice-cold for maximum refreshment.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Glass:
Start by filling your glass with ice. If you’re using large glasses, consider adding plenty of ice to keep your drink chilled and refreshing.
2. Mix the Drink:
In a separate pitcher or mixing glass, combine the chilled Pink Moscato and pink lemonade. The ratio is about 1 part Moscato to 1 part lemonade, but you can adjust this based on your sweetness preference. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more lemonade.
3. Sweeten (Optional):
Taste the mix and decide if you want it a little sweeter. If desired, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of sugar or a splash of simple syrup. Stir well to dissolve the sugar completely.
4. Pour Into Glasses:
Pour the mixture into your prepared glasses over ice. The sparkling pink Moscato will add bubbles and a beautiful color to the drink.
5. Garnish & Serve:
Garnish with a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass or drop a few slices into the drink for extra citrusy flair. You can also add a fresh mint sprig for an aromatic touch.
