Tasting Notes

This Summer Fling Champagne Punch drink is crisp, lightly bubbly, and just sweet enough. The rosé and champagne give it a balanced mix of dry and fruity, while the lemonade and strawberries bring a fresh, citrusy kick. Every sip is bright and easy-drinking, with strawberry flavor sneaking through more as it sits. It’s not too sweet and not too tart, which makes it great for sipping slowly. It finishes clean, with a hint of lemon zest and fizz on the tongue. You’ll get cool, summery vibes without the drink feeling heavy.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll only need a large pitcher, long spoon, and wine glasses or champagne flutes. A sharp knife and cutting board will help with prepping the fruit. No shaker or strainer here just a stir and pour setup. A pitcher is best for mixing and letting the ingredients chill together, and a ladle is handy if you’re serving from a punch bowl. Tall glasses help keep the bubbles alive and show off the sliced fruit for a pretty look.
