How to Make Rose Lemonade.

This simple summer cocktail recipe begins with homemade lemonade. It is well worth the effort! Lemonade that is sold in stores is usually made with concentrate, powder, or preservatives. It is difficult to recreate the fresh lemonade taste. You can also make two batches of freshly squeezed lemonade and sweeten it to your taste. Then, freeze the extra.

Lemons I use Eureka for both the juice as well as the garnish. They are easily found in most grocery shops. You could also use a mixture of sweet Meyer and tart Eureka lemons, but you might need to adjust the amount in simple syrup.
Sugar:Used for making a simple syrup to make lemonade. For a bright yellow color, you can use white sugar. Organic sugar is good but can sometimes have a darker color so your lemonade will look darker.
Rose wine: Dry roses are preferred for this cocktail (see my favorite recipes below).
Optional: You can make this drink bubbly with club soda. The effervescence adds lightness to the drink, which is great for serving Rose lemonade at brunch.

Making Simple Syrup

Simple syrup can be purchased at the grocery store. It is usually located in the mixer aisle liquor section. It's easy to make simple syrup yourself.

Combine equal amounts of water and sugar in small saucepan. Heat on medium-high heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved and liquid turns from grayish to clear. Allow the pan to cool down to room temperature. 3/4 cup sugar and 3/4 cups water are required for this recipe. It can be kept in the fridge for up 30 days.

How do you make rose lemonade?

Rose Lemonade is my favorite summer drink when it's hot. It's refreshing and easy to make. This is a great way to serve a crowd because you can make large batches and don't have to spend time mixing each drink. Rose Lemonade can be made by following these steps:

Prepare the lemons: Slice one lemon into small pieces and put it in a blender. You will need to juice enough lemons to make 1 cup. To strain any pulp, use a sieve.
Mix: Combine the simple syrup, lemon juice and remaining 2 cups water in a large pitcher. Add one bottle of rosewater. Mix the lemon wheels with the simple syrup and place in your refrigerator until ready to serve.
Serve: For club soda users, fill 6-8 glasses with ice. Divide the cocktail between the glasses leaving approximately 2-inches at the top. Add club soda to the top. You can also pour the mixture into ice-filled glasses. You can garnish the mixture with extra lemon wheels if you have lemons left. Cheers!

The Best Rose for Rose Lemonade

It can be daunting to choose a wine to make drinks. But I'm here for you to help! You don't have to spend a lot on Roses, but you do not need to. Just look for something that is pleasant and dry enough to drink by itself.

Rose wines from Provence are a great choice. They are often high quality and very affordable.

La Grand' Vigne Rose de Provence Coteaux Varois and Aix Rose are two of my favorites, both below $20. Rose wines with a higher sweetness level should be avoided as they can upset the lemonade's balance. Avoid Moscato varieties and bottles that have "Dolce" in the title. Also, avoid any wines with an ABV below 12%.

This versatile cocktail recipe is bright, refreshing and goes well with Broiled Salmon or Cucumber Sandwiches. Think of summer at the seaside!
