Spicy & Aromatic Rosé Mocktails

Want to know what we were most excited for when launching our new non alcoholic rosé? Mocktails! We were seriously so eager to try out our rosé as a base for homeade mocktails- the tart apple notes lend to a nice acidic touch, and we wanted to see how that played off other craft cocktail elements, like fresh juice and herbs.

Many people assume that craft cocktails require the best liquor to taste great, but the reality is craft drinks without the alcohol can taste just as good. By using freshly pressed juices, fresh herbs, vinegars, tinctures, alcohol alternatives and more- you have the ability to create a satisfying, craft beverage, all without the alcohol. If you want more mocktail inspiration using other ingredients like our dry secco, check out these other recipes like our fall sangria or this french 75.

We teamed up with a ton of recipe curators to create the best rosé mocktails for you to try at home. Today we are featuring two recipes from Lauren- one utilizing fresh juice and aromatic sage, and the other using fresh, spicy jalapeños. We hope you try both and let us know what you think!

Blood Orange & Sage Mocktail

Ingredients

• 1 blood orange
• 1 lime
• Fresh sage leaves
• 1 chilled bottle Grüvi Bubbly Rose

Instructions

1. Slice the orange in half and squeeze into a glass (we recommend serving in a coupe, but any glass will do!)
2. Slice the lime into wedges and squeeze one wedge into the glass, then top with Grüvi Rosé.
3. Slice the other half of the orange into thin pieces, and place on top of the rosé.
4. Take a sage leaf and clap it between your palms- it helps release the natural oils of the herb! Place each leaf on top of your drink for garnish. Enjoy!

Jalapeño Rosé Mocktail

Ingredients

• 1 lime
• 1 jalapeño
• 2 tbsp. rose water (can be found at specialty stores or online)
• 1/2 bottle Grüvi Bubbly Rosé
• fresh mint leaves

Instructions

1. Cut the lime into wedges and squeeze one or two into the glass
2. Slice up the jalapeño and add a few pieces to the glass. Stir or lightly muddle and let sit for a few minutes so the juice & jalapeños work to infuse together.
3. Add in the rosé, then the rose water and give a nice stir.
4. Take a mint leaf and clap between your hands, then add as a garnish on top. Cheers!
