celebrate rosé week in a new way.

by victoria comment

The summer season is just around the corner, and National Rosé Day is Saturday, June 9th so what better way to celebrate than with an all-new cocktail? Hangar 1 recently released its lovely new Rosé Vodka and invited me to partner with them for the launch, creating my very own summer cocktail. Vodka being my go-to spirit of choice, I could hardly resist, now could I? I’d recently tasted Hangar 1 Rosé Vodka at their launch party and loved it, so I was excited to put my own fresh twist on it. I experimented (how much fun was that!?) and created the Pink Greyhound, which as it turns out is the perfect summer sipping cocktail – made with Rosé Vodka, freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, an easy simple syrup made with honey, a splash of club soda, shaken well with ice and served in pretty vintage glassware rimmed with pink himalayan sea salt and garnished with fresh rosemary sprig (straight from my garden).

Rosé Vodka is a unique blend of Hangar 1 Vodka and California rosé wine and perfect for drinking al fresco with friends on warm summer afternoons, and a light, refreshing alternative to traditional wine. Hangar 1 was inspired to create a Rosé Vodka that celebrates the golden state wine culture and worked with local vineyards and farms to source the grapes and fresh ingredients that create a delicate, pale pink Rosé Vodka — with a floral nose and notes of honey crisp apple, sweet pea blossoms, and a hint of oak. The flavor is silky and soft, with notes of berry and wood, and a crisp acidity — so delicious! To learn more and shop for Hangar 1 Rosé Vodka, visit Reserve Bar.
