Have I got a summer cocktail recipe for you; this Strawberry Lemonade Rosé Punch is sure to be your new favourite drink of the summer!

There are so many amazing local fruits that grow in the summer and strawberries are one of my favourites! I especially love using summer fruit in cocktails because of their natural sweetness and gorgeous colour.

So let’s cheers to the summer season together with my Strawberry Lemonade Rosé Punch!

The strawberries are mixed together with lemons for a tasty lemonade base. Then, everything is mixed with sparkling water, gin and of course, rosé!

Since rosé started making a comeback a few summers ago I’m always looking for ways to use it in cocktails. I love that you can choose from a variety of flavour profiles from fruitier, berry-forward rosés to more dry rosés based on your taste preference. For me it depends on what I’m pairing the rosé with and this Strawberry Lemonade Rosé Punch you could really use either.

If you want to keep the punch a bit more tarte, use a drier or more balanced rosé. Or, if you want a bit of a sweeter, berry-forward punch, use a fruitier rosé. You can really make this punch to suit your tastes!

Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into another bowl, pressing on the strawberries and lemons to get out as much liquid as possible.
