Pink Limoncello Spritz

Duplin Sweet Lily romances Italian limoncello and a few scoops of gelato in a drink sure to steal your heart. The secret to whipping up a pink version of our popular Limoncello Spritz recipe is to use Duplin Sweet Rosé instead of Sweet Lily. Then add raspberry gelato or strawberry ice cream  instead of vanilla ice cream. Make sure everything you need is cold before preparing the drink. Chill a bottle of limoncello in the freezer overnight. And be sure to chill Duplin Sweet Rosé wine in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. Limoncello Spritzes look beautiful in large, stemless wine glasses.

Cuddle Up Snow Day Rosé

Snuggle side by side with the fruity, medium-sweetness of Duplin Pink Magnolia wine, balanced by the smooth warmth of tequila and a bright squeeze of lemon. Served over a mound of ice, this cocktail evokes the feeling of a cozy winter day, perfect for sipping by the fire. Indulge in the unexpected combination of flavors and enjoy a taste of summer even in the coldest months.
