Rosé at Six

Grapefruit gives NA rosé a sharper, slightly bitter edge, making this more of a crisp spritz than a sweet pink drink. The wine still matters: a fruity rosé will soften the citrus more than a dry one. Combine them before topping with cold sparkling water. It’s a good choice when you want a drink with some bite, served slowly rather than dressed up with an elaborate garnish.

Ingredients

• 4 oz NA rosé
• 2 oz Sparkling water
• 2 oz Grapefruit juice

Make it

1. Add any fruit, herbs, spices, or syrup to a glass and gently press to release flavor.
2. Add the still liquids and ice. Stir to combine.
3. Pour in the sparkling ingredient slowly and stir once. Serve immediately.

Benefits

Grapefruit · a little vitamin C

The 2 oz of grapefruit juice adds some vitamin C for absorbing iron from plant foods, with NA rosé rounding out the flavor.

NA rosé · more than a sweet mixer

With grapefruit in the glass, the measured NA rosé contributes a light, fruit-led wine-style base as an accent to the fizz.

Check every NA product’s ABV. Choose clearly labeled 0.0% ingredients if you want to avoid trace alcohol.

If your medicine advises avoiding grapefruit, choose a different recipe or check with your pharmacist.
