The Positano Pre-Gamer - Limoncello Cocktail with Rose Wine

The Positano Pre-Gamer

Mixed Drinks with Limoncello

This is the drink that residents of Positano drink in preparation for a night of serious partying--in my imagination. In reality it's a recycling program for rosé wine. 

You know rosé, it's the wine people drink if they don't like alcohol. It's also the wine those people bring to dinner parties, so everyone has one or two bottles stowed away in the back of the cupboard. Here's a chance to get rid of it!

Through the strategic addition of Limoncello, strawberries and other things that actually taste good, we can recycle rosé wine into something amazing!

You get an impossibly refreshing summer drink AND you reclaim precious space in your cabinet that you can now use for expired goji berries, spirulina powder and other stuff you think you should eat but never will. You're welcome!
