Ultimate Provence Rosé Cocktails: 2 Recipes from 2023

These rosé cocktail recipes were shared in 2023. Wine availability, venue offerings and recipe specifications may have changed since then. These recipes are intended for adults of legal drinking age.

Ultimate Provence, a wine estate in Provence, shared two rosé-based cocktail recipes that offer alternatives to serving rosé on its own. Both recipes combine the wine with fruit and other cocktail ingredients.

Unexpected rosé cocktail

• 3 oz. Ultimate Provence Rosé
• 5–6 fresh basil leaves
• 1 oz. cranberry juice
• 0.5 oz. lemon juice
• 1–3 oz. sugar cane, as listed in the original 2023 recipe
• 5–6 crushed blackberries
• 2/3 oz. sweet vermouth

Combine the ingredients in a shaker with ice, shake and strain into a glass. Garnish with basil. Because the original sugar-cane measurement is unusually broad, adjust sweetness cautiously to taste rather than assuming the upper amount is required.

Mellow Yellow rosé cocktail

• 3 oz. Ultimate Provence Rosé
• 1 oz. orange juice
• 1 oz. lime juice
• 1/3 oz. cinnamon syrup
• 2/3 oz. lemon juice

Shake the ingredients with ice and strain into a glass. Garnish with a cinnamon stick.

About the 2023 recipes

In 2023, Ultimate Provence described its vineyard and UP Lounge while presenting these drinks as summer serves. Travelers should confirm current details directly with the venue because hospitality offerings and wine releases change.

Bottom line

These two recipes show how rosé can work as a cocktail base alongside herbs, berries, citrus and spice. These ingredient lists are from 2023; adjust sweetness and acidity to suit the wine and your preference. Drink responsibly.

Serving the two cocktails

Both recipes were built around rosé, but they went in different directions. Unexpected leaned herbal and berry-forward, while Mellow Yellow used citrus and cinnamon for a warmer edge. Chill the wine before mixing and make one serving first before scaling for a group. Sweetness, fruit and dilution can shift quickly when a recipe moves from one glass to a pitcher.
