Episode 81 - Ring Around the Rosé! -  Rosé Wine Cocktails

What a great episode this one is!  This time around, the Gents have a guest with them.  Who is it you ask?    None other than Kate Stadel and guess what?  She has her own podcast too.  You can check it out right here.  It's called Missed Cues.  As their website says, "Missed Cues is a podcast where we talk about theatre over drinks. Why does theatre matter in the 21st century? What ancient relics are holding our industry back? How do we create a vibrant community that challenges the most pernicious aspects of our society."  Give it a listen!

Kate actually asked to be on the show and once the Gents agreed she also let them know that she would like to cocktails with rosé wine.  According to Wikipedia, "A rosé is a type of wine that incorporates some of the color from the grape skins, but not enough to qualify it as a red wine."  As long as it has alcohol in it, the Gents are in!

First up is The Rosé Bouquet.  Its got a little bit of everything in it.  Let's try it out.

The Rosé Bouquet

3 ounces rosé
1 1/2 ounce gin
3/4 ounce Lillet Blanc
3 ounces ruby red grapefruit juice
Rosemary Sprig

Build over ice in a tall  glass.  Stir and serve with a small grapefruit wedge and rosemary sprig.


Not bad.  Not bad at all.  Plus you get to use some of that rosemary you've got growing in the yard!

Next us is a drink for the whiskey lover in your life.  The whiskey lover that also likes their whiskey mixed with rosé wine.  Probably a slightly smaller market but they will like it.  It's The American West Sour.  It actually calls for Tin Cup Whiskey but the Gents did not have that particular libation available.  They substituted Woodford Reserve and it worked out great!

The American West Sour

2 ounces Tin Cup Whiskey (we used Woodford Reserve)
1 ounce fresh lemon juice
3/4 ounce simple syrup
1/2 ounce dry rosé wine
Lemon peel for garnish

Shake the whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice.  Strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice.  Slowly pour the wine over the back of a bar spoon onto the surface of the cocktail to create the layering effect.  Squeeze a lemon peel coin over the cocktail, and skewer with a cocktail pick for garnish.


Kate herself made this drink while the Gents gave directions.  Not surprisingly, the Gents gave lousy directions and they missed out on the layering of the rosé wine and instead told her to shake the whole thing.  Guess what?  It still works and it's a great drink!

If you're someone who has to run a van as part of your business, you'll be well aware that it can be a costly exercise. Tax, fuel, maintenance, insurance, it all adds up to significant expenditure for any company, large or small.
