Vie en Rose
This is a shaken cocktail with Rose Gin, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice, red wine syrup, and a special surprise component—a simple syrup with Biltmore Estate® Syrah for a boost of fruity flavor to compliment the bright citrus and floral sweetness of the other ingredients. This cocktail works beautifully with spicy fare such as fish tacos, or as a compliment to a rich dessert like flourless chocolate torte with raspberry compote.
