Rosé lemonade recipe is the only drink you'll need this summer.
Two people cannot finish an entire bottle of wine.
Wait, can I re-phrase that? Two people shouldn't finish an entire bottle of wine. At least not on a weeknight. We speak from experience.
Since it's summertime, we've been hitting the rosé almost nightly. But, I've been waking up lately only to find that I forgot to re-cork the wine. Again.
Whenever I have a leftover half-bottle of wine, I always use it for mixing drinks. Or cooking. But the other morning, when I spotted yet another open bottle of rosé from the previous night on the counter, my mind immediately went to cool, crisp refreshing lemonade with a splash rosé.
If the two most refreshing things about summertime got together in a glass, it would be this rosé lemonade.
I used my favorite non-sparkling French rosé, but you could definitely use a brut rosé. There are some great domestic ones (I love Mumm, Gloria Ferrer, and Handley Cellars). Or, you could use sparkling lemonade.
I included a recipe for homemade lemonade for two below, but you can most certainly use one that you like from the store.
Cheers to summertime!
Friends, I'm off to the lake for a week. I have recipes ready to share with you while I'm gone next week, but I'll be a bit out of touch if you need help. Sorry!
My main goal for next week is to get rid of the weird tan line I have around my belly button from my pregnancy. Apparently I laid out with my belly exposed a little too much, because when my belly button became an innie again post-baby, it left a weird line. Big life problems being solved next week.
Lots of this rosé lemonade recipe being made and drank quickly!
For a non-alcoholic version, try my mango lemonade.

Oh, oh girl. Oh girl whyyyyyy! I love me some rosé, and the lemonade makes it so refreshing, I can only imagine! I actually might indulge in a glass of this because I can have an actual normal portion size, thanks to the lemonade side! By the way, these photos are lovely and have me convinced you're blogging from Paris. TAKE ME WITH YOU CHRISTINA. TAKE ME WITH YOU.

Christina you've got me in STITCHES yet again! Haha my motto lately has been rose, all day e'ry day because it is summertime and the sippin's easy. So far my friends and I have been able to finish off each bottle we open, the night that we open it but...if we ever leave a semi-full bottle uncorked overnight I will be sure to make these!

Is that line vertical from your belly button down? If so, it's not a tan line. It's a pregnancy thing that will eventually fade. There's a medical name for it but nothing too important.
