As the temperatures peak in some areas {or even if it’s declining}, an icy cold beverage becomes the pinnacle of importance, but why dilute a specially crafted drink by using ice? I favor serving drinks in frosted glasses, they look so specially prepared and the {very simple} process of frosting glasses really helps to keep freshly poured beverages at the proper temp. Try this out, you and your guests will love the special presentation of the frosted glass and the feel of that frozen sensation in hand on a hot day or evening.
There are two versions of frosted glasses, wet or dry. You can give the glasses a quick rinse in the tap first, or just put them in the freezer dry. Since I needed to stack them, I put these glasses in the freezer dry so they wouldn’t stick together. If you wet them first they form an icy, sometimes drippy {pretty kind of drippy} jacket while freezing, this frosted look and coolness lasts longer. Also, it’s nice to put some berries or green grapes in the glass, to help keep the concoctions cool without dilution.
Here, I put a few ripe raspberries at the bottom of each of the glasses and let them freeze for a few hours. The raspberries help to keep the rosé cold {without dilution} and they add color and flavor to the drink as well.

Emily, Do you recommend a Rose' to offer with a barbeque rib dinner? (Aug 31)
I just finished the Coppola "Sofia" Rose' and liked it very much… but, hesitate to serve it as I rarely see anyone order/serve Rose'.
We will also have our signature margarita, beer, and non-alcohol options.
Thanks! 🙂
