½cup(120ml) sparkling roséor enough to fill the glasses
Instructions
Add jam, vodka, fresh berries and mint leaves to a cocktail shaker or mason jar.
Using a muddler or wooden spoon, combine until the berries are broken up. This typically takes 15 seconds or so.
Strain the muddled berries and vodka mixture through a mesh sieve into two glasses, pushing out all the juice out for maximum flavor.
Fill the glasses with Rosé and add fresh berries and mint to garnish.
Notes
No sparkling rosé? No problem! Just use a 50/50 mixture of club soda and regular rosé.
When muddling the berries and mint, be gentle yet thorough. The goal is to release the flavors without turning the mixture into a pulp. About 15 seconds of muddling should suffice.
Choose your favorite vodka and rosé brand to really make this cocktail special.
Chill or freeze your garnishes to keep your cocktail colder longer.
For maximum full flavor, mix your drink right when you're ready to serve.
Serve the Vodka Spritzer in elegant glasses to enhance the overall experience. A stemmed glass or a coupe adds a touch of sophistication.
Adjust the quantities of ingredients to suit your taste preferences. If you prefer a stronger cocktail, add a bit more vodka; if you like it lighter, increase the amount of sparkling rosé.
