7 Rosé Recipes to Brighten Up Your Summer

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Queen's U chapter.

Whenever my friends and I go out to dinner, everyone always seems to be ordering rosé. As I watch them consume their body weight in wine, I started wondering, how can you possibly consume that much rosé? How do you drink the same thing every time and not get sick of it? Do you not enjoy variety in your life? And if they love rosé so much, surely you’ve found other ways to drink it by now? Low and behold, I’ve created a list of rosé recipes sure to please even the most hardcore of all rosé lovers. 

1. Rosé Lemonade
