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! 🙂
Looks beautiful and delicious, Emily. There is nothing better than a chilly glass of rosé on a warm summer day. Sit back, relax and enjoy!

Great idea!!! I'll have to give this a try. I've been enjoying my rose over ice with an orange slice, but I like how the raspberries won't dilute my drink!!
Bottoms up!

Sounds wonderful, Emily! As always, beautiful ideas. I put raspberries in champagne too. Wonderful!
Happy Wednesday.

Yes, Linda, I would absolutely serve rosé with ribs. I'll bet your guest will find it refreshing. i haven't tried the Coppola rosé, is it a darker red or more pale in color? I usually go for more pale colored rosés, if find them to be less sweet.

Teresa, it would be wonderful with champagne!
