• Pairs perfectly with: Rita Rims Sugar & Strawberry Cups

Ingredients

For 1 Sugar & Strawberry Rosé Spritz:

• 4 ounces chilled rosé wine (dry or semi dry works best)

• 2 to 3 ounces chilled lemon lime soda

• 2 to 3 fresh strawberries, rinsed and sliced

• Ice (optional, if your rosé is not very cold)

• 1 Rita Rims Sugar & Strawberry Cup for serving

You can easily batch this for a crowd!

Step 1: Prep Your Strawberries

Before you touch the rosé, start with the strawberries.

1. Rinse the strawberries under cool water.

2. Slice them into thin rounds or small wedges. Thin slices look pretty and infuse faster.

3. Set a few of the nicest slices aside for garnish.

Optional but helpful:

• If your berries are not very sweet, toss the slices in a tiny pinch of sugar and let them sit for a few minutes. This draws out the juices and gives your spritz a juicier flavor.

Step 2: Choose and Chill Your Rosé

You do not need an expensive bottle for this recipe. You just need something crisp and drinkable.

Tips for choosing your rosé:

• Pick a dry or semi dry rosé so the drink does not become overly sweet once you add soda and strawberries.

• Avoid very sugary or dessert style rosé. The berries and soda already add sweetness.

• Make sure the rosé is well chilled before you pour. Cold wine makes the spritz taste fresher and more refreshing.

Place the bottle in the fridge for at least a couple of hours, or in an ice bath for about 20 minutes if you are short on time.

Step 3: Fill Your Sugar & Strawberry Cup

Now the fun part. Grab your Rita Rims Sugar & Strawberry Cup.

1. Fill the cup about halfway with chilled rosé, around 4 ounces.

2. Add a small handful of sliced strawberries directly into the cup.

3. If you like extra chill, add a couple of ice cubes at this stage.

The pre rimmed Sugar & Strawberry Cup adds a sweet, fruity rim that pairs perfectly with the rosé and fresh berries. It makes the drink taste like you planned it all out, even if you just grabbed what was in your fridge.

Step 4: Top With Lemon Lime Soda

Now it is time to make it bubbly.

1. Gently pour 2 to 3 ounces of chilled lemon lime soda into the cup, over the rosé and strawberries.

2. Pour slowly so the bubbles do not overflow.

3. Give the drink a soft stir to help the flavors mingle.

Taste and adjust:

• For a sweeter, lighter spritz, add a little more soda.

• For a stronger wine flavor, add a splash more rosé instead.

Step 5: Garnish, Sip, and Serve

This is where the drink becomes a moment.

1. Add one pretty strawberry slice to the rim of the cup.

2. Drop one more slice into the drink so it floats near the top.

3. Hold the cup up and admire the rosé color, the sugared rim, and the fresh strawberries.

4. Serve immediately and enjoy while it is cold and bubbly.

Your guests will ask what is in it. You can tell them the recipe, or you can just say, “It is my Sugar & Strawberry Rosé Spritz” and let the mystery do the talking.

Extra Hosting Tips for the Best Sugar & Strawberry Rosé Spritz

• Make a small batch in advance: Build a pitcher with chilled rosé and sliced strawberries, then top individual cups with soda right before serving.

• Use frozen strawberries as ice: Freeze sliced berries on a tray, then use them like ice cubes. They chill the drink without watering it down.

• Keep everything cold: Cold rosé, cold soda, and cold cups if possible. The spritz tastes best very chilled.

Why This Rosé Spritz Pairs Perfectly With Sugar & Strawberry Cups

The Sugar & Strawberry Cups are more than regular disposable cups. The flavored rim adds a sweet, fruity edge that makes a simple rosé and soda combo feel like a signature cocktail.

• The sugar and strawberry rim boosts the berry notes in the drink.

• The disposable design keeps cleanup easy.

• The rim lasts for several drinks, so guests can refill without losing the flavor.

If you want a drink that looks thoughtful but takes less than five minutes to put together, this pairing is your secret weapon.
