Frosé del Diablo

(Makes 4 cocktails)

Frozé has certainly been having its moment, but this bright, sweet and slightly savory variation is the new favorite you didn’t know you needed. Wow family and friends with this ice cold sophisticated sip that will pair perfectly with warm days full of sunshine, fresh salads, cheese boards and grilled veggies. If you like your rosé to have a thicker consistency, you can add ice and blend to your liking. Additionally if you’d like to make it on the sweeter side increase the honey to 4 ounces. The balsamic will turn the frozé a deeper, dusty red/pink shade, so if you want to keep a bright blushing rosy hue, use a white balsamic vinegar.
